‘Scene’ Coaching in Derby Bus Station on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

An early start from Derby allowed me a few minutes to catch up with the early departures of the day.

Working a ‘Stagecoach megabus’ departure on service m45 to London and turned out in the full megabus livery.

 

It must be a long lease to justify the cost of the re-paint.

 

It looks good though!

New to ‘National Holidays’ who were part of the old ‘Shearings’ group who unfortunately were an early casualty of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

 

SETRAs are a disappearing breed because none having been manufactured for the UK market for a number of years.

 

So, photograph them while you can.

‘Scene’ in Stamford, Other operators 1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

As you read this, I am sure that like everyone else you are having to cope with the Coronavirus disaster (because that is what it is).

 

I am of an age where I am considered to be at risk so the opportunities are not there at the moment to get out and about.

 

Nonetheless, I have a stock of images and  blogs that will hopefully get me through to better times.

 

To try and ensure that they last as long as possible, I will restrict each blog to no more than 4 or 5 images.

 

I would like to send every single one of you out there my best wishes for your continued good health.

 

 

 

Stamford in Lincolnshire is a beautiful town. The golden stone of many of its elegant buildings gives it an almost Cotswold-ish feel.

 

The bus station is well situated in the town centre being almost circular which gives the photographer a variety of vantage points depending on where the sun is.
