‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit ‘Marshalls of Sutton on Trent’ 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year. (Covid permitting).

 

Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.

 

This year, the location was in my part of the world, the East Midlands.

 

The fifth and final visit of this second day was to the two premises of ‘Marshalls of Sutton on Trent’, an operator I have long admired but always found elusive.

 

At the first ‘Marshalls’ site we were welcomed by Mr. John Marshall and he accompanied us to the second site aboard the beautiful Duple bodied Daimler seen in part 1.

 

The fact that a number of coaches in the fleet have the letters JAM in their registrations might just be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

‘Scene’, ‘Bits and Pieces’ part 3 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Most of my blogs have some sort of theme or purpose. 

 

There are however times when I take a photograph of something that does not fit into any category. 

 

It is generally something that just happened to turn up at the time.

 

Collectively they are just ‘Bits and Pieces’. Individually they can be interesting.

 

See if there is anything that you like out of these.

 

For part 1 see blog published 28/03/2018. For part 2 see blog published 08/07/2018.

‘Scene’ in Sheffield 1 on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

As I have said before, my home city. I have not been back for almost a year but as usual, much remains the same and much changes. That’s life I suppose ! Long may it continue.

 

Anyhow less of the philosophy and more of the buses.

 

Sheffield Transport Interchange is private property and permission is required to photograph on the premises.

 

Any of the yellow jacketed security staff should be approached and in my experience, I have never had a problem.
