‘Scene’ in Chesterfield yet again on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

I don’t usually do 1 image blogs but I was in Chesterfield yesterday (Monday) on other business and this came my way so I decided to post it as a ‘bonus’ blog because I liked it and I hope you do as well.

‘Scene’, Down Memory Lane with ‘ARRIVA Midlands’ (AM)4 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

To continue, an occasional series which came about when I was looking through my collection of images for something else and this selection turned up.

 

In the early days due to the number of operators who formed the group, the fleet was a mixture of types amalgamated by the livery. 

 

It was plain, simple and some said boring.

 

I liked it so here are some examples of how it looked.
