Cold comfort in Cheshire

A wet winter's day at Macclesfield's deserted bus station, Monday 6th February 1978. Parked on the oily apron was Crosville's DDG 313, a Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX with Alexander body, formerly of North Western Road Car Co. and acquired when, in 1972, that company was broken up and apportioned between three larger operators.

Drawing pictures in the condensation of steamed-up windows was an innocent amusement of many young passengers in those days. The destination looks like Manchester; a fair old way. I suppose the heaters would have been blowing cold air. Note diabolical cigarette advertising.
