Troupe buses.
Besides bus rallies, you could amost guarantee a good collection of elderly and interesting omnibuses at the many and varied Dance Troupe gatherings throughout the season. For my sins I perpetuated taking a coach load out almost every Sunday long after I'd sold my own business by borrowing a vehicle from friends. On this particular day circa 2000 Mitchell High School, Bucknall Stoke on Trent was the venue and a competing troupe 'Telford Crystals' had arrived courtesy of this ex GM standard Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline YNA 287M then operated by Riverside Coachways from their home town.
Just creeping in to the shot on the left is a Stanways Bedford YMT Supreme, but I'm not sure who's was the Cheshire registered Duple Dominant II Leopard on the right.
