First Potteries oddball

Unusual in First's North Staffordshire fleet is bus 40751 (P757 XUS). It's a Dennis Dart SLF with UVG Urbanstar bodywork, one of four which arrived from Glasgow a couple of years ago. Of the batch one never even entered service and the other two have since been withdrawn, one as a result of a rather unpleasant accident involving a child in Blurton.

 

The 'last man standing' is seen arriving in Hanley from Trentham on service 21A, following which it will continue to Leek as a service 18 - an interurban route hardly suited to the asthmatic old Darts it is worked with.
