One from the archives, rather than another compound shot!
It's a warm sunny summer afternoon here and whilst trawling through the electronic filing cabinet for something to post, I happened upon this. It too was taken on a warm sunny summer afternoon, though in Blackpool and not North Staffordshire. By the early 1980s this once proud ex Yelloways AEC Reliance Plaxton Panorama 1 would have been quite a dinosaur and, in the eyes of 'Joe public', wouldn't have stood much comparison with the Duple Dominant II alongside. On the up-side, 1966 built FDK 416D does still look straight and tidy, even if its owner isn't keen on letting
anyone know who he/she was. Anyone know, or care to guess?
The picture was taken on Rigby Road / Central coach park which was once the aproach to Blackpool's largest Railway Station, itself 'Central'.
