Newcastle-under-Lyme Bus Station
D&G Bus has received another three Optare Versas from Yellow Buses Bournemouth,following on from the three that arrived in December last year.Here is T21 TYB posed for a photo at the depot before being repainted red.The three new arrivals are T20 TYB, T21 TYB and T25 TYB.
The two Wright Commander bodied DAF SB220s in the D&G Bus fleet have now been withdrawn,with one being sold for a new life as a school bus in Birmingham.The other one YJ53 VDT,fleet No 148 is posed for a photo at Adderley Green.I wanted to get 147 YG52 EVY out for a photo before it went to Birmingham,but unfortunately it was as flat as a pancake! Both buses were new to Fishwicks Leyland,coming into the D&G Bus fleet via Routemaster Buses Crewe.
D&G Bus began the Orange One around October last year and it runs with four suitably-coloured buses: an Optare Solo and three Alexander Dennis Enviro200s which were salvaged from the wreckage of the Hatts operation when it ceased. Here 112 (SN11 FFV) arrives in Newcastle from Meir.
When D&G Bus take control of the Arriva MIdlands garage at Delta Way Cannock from 10th January 2021,it is likely that one of the buses acquired in the deal is Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart FJ55 BWF.Things have a habit of going full circle,as this bus spent some time allocated to Adderley Green garage when Wardle Transport were part of Arriva,but it was transferred out before the sale to D&G Bus in 2015.It is seen here on 17th November 2014 with a red corner panel on the front bumper.

Following on from my upload of 21/12/11 when the photo had a van obscuring the front, I completely forgot that I then ran round the back of the Arndale and caught it again in its entirety. Well it was 22-and-a-half years ago. Enjoy... Manchester Arndale Bus Station, 01/06/1989. Scanned from a print.

When the five new Scanias (1463 to 1467) were allocated to Hyde Road, older ex GMT 1461 and 1462 were also transferred in from Atherton to keep them all together. Manchester, Piccadilly, 26/07/1991.
Looking decidedly careworn in this shot. One G M driver once said to me around this time that you don't take on the cowboys without becoming one yourself to some extent in the process... Manchester, Mosley Street, 16/03/1992.
