Oi, wait for me!
Unbeknown to him, a loan passenger runs to catch a driverless GMPTE 5890 on a quiet day in Stockport Bus Station in April 1981. The bus, an East Lancs bodied Leyland PD3/14 had been new to Stockport Corporation in January 1969. It's incredible to think that half-cab, exposed radiator front engined buses, with rear open platforms were still being produced at the end of the 1960s, but what a handsome looking vehicle it is.
The Bus Station had not long been rebuilt in 1981 and still as an air of newness about it, however, plastering part of the of the blue-bricked viaduct in concrete was just plain wrong and looked awful to my eyes.
