Stagecoach contrasts

These three Stagecoach double-deckers are seen here on display at the now ceased Trans-Lancs Rally, Heaton Park, Manchester, on 04/09/2005. This popular event was last held in 2019. This was due to COVID-19 and the now ever expanding summer fairground. Furthest from the camera is Stagecoach Manchester 10840, MX53FME, a TransBus President bodied TransBus Trident SFD33. It was new to Stagecoach Manchester in 09/2003. In the centre of the trio is 17699, MW52UJF, an East Lancs Lolyne bodied Dennis Trident SFD448. New to Dennis's(Cooper)(DT5), Dukinfield, in 02/2003, it was acquired by Stagecoach Manchester on the acquisition of Dennis's a little earlier in 2003. Nearest the camera is Stagecoach Grimsby-Cleethorpes 15513 MBE613R, an open-top converted Roe bodied Leyland Fleetline FE30AGR. It was new to the erstwhile Grimsby-Cleethorpes Corporation Transport(113), in 01/1977, and would later work for Stagecoach East Midland out of their Chesterfield depot and then Stagecoach Yorkshire Traction. It has since been preserved.

 

The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Jessops Colourslide.
