Slipping past

Wearing the ‘Bus and Coach Council’s' anti-de-regulation livery, SYPTE Metrobus 1856 gingerly edges its way passed two sister Metrobuses in Sheffield Bus Station on 5th February 1986. Most of the PTE's had at least one bus painted into the B&CC's 'We'd all miss the bus' livery. Sadly, it did nothing to deter the then Tory government from de-regulating the bus industry in the October of that year.

 

I recall this being a bitterly cold day and that I was glad to get back into the car. The journey back to the West Midlands was quite treacherous, but scenic at the same time.
