Ex Stagecoach Javelin 'Interurban'
Firstly let me beg forgiveness for position of the telegraph pole! I couldn't quite get the shot I wanted here as the sun was on the wrong side. I did take another from the other but with predictable results. The intention had been to include Mow Cop and the Cheshire Plane, however, as I was short of time, I just had to make do with the latter ... and the telegraph pole. This record shot was taken in Chester Road, Talke Pits (sort of) on the way back from MoT test in the week. This little Dennis Javelin has it's Plaxton Premier coach bodyshell kitted out as a service bus, a type referred to as an Interurban. It still carries it's Orkney Coaches branding as a reminder of it's final Stagecoach posting. Quite a bit of beautifying went into it's preparation as it was certainly showing signs of having stood for the best part of a year in an unsympathetic climate .
