Midland Red DD13 6175, Royal Oak, Bobbington, 1983
Taken out in the sticks in South Staffordshire, these Midland Red 'deckers' seemed to be over-kill on this rural service, but they were allocated on the service as part of a wider schedule.
From memory, the 888 route terminated at Brantley Lane in the village of Bobbington before returning to Wolverhampton. The bus is pictured on the triangle in front of what was then the Royal Oak public house. The Royal Oak used to a be popular destination for many families, especially on summer evenings were the children could play outside. Today, the former pub still stands but is a private residence.
