Stanways - the third incarnation
The Kidsgrove area fleet of Stanway's Coaches has passed through several hands, five to be precise and even the latest of them has been restructured. The business was founded largely on 'lightweight' coaches, predominantly Bedfords, though two Leyland Leopards did pass through. As times moved on, Volvos were the favoured marque, until the present day when one of the most interesting and varied fleets is operated. In the above picture, an unusual 'sawn off' Bedford Y series which didn't serve long, had just been withdrawn. Guessing at it's origins, (as I reckon that isn't it's original reg.) it started life with Armchair Passenger Transport of Brentford. The apologetic little 'Stanways Coaches' sticker below the windscreen hints at it's most recent ownership.
