Holding on tight on the Highfields Cattle Truck
AML569H coming staight down the very steep Matlock Cable Tramway route, past the Gate Hotel onto Bank Road in Matlock on 9 September 1981.
With pupils clearly holding on tightly in the large front standee section, the bus had been newly introduced on the contract from Highfields Upper School to Elton, operated by J H Woolliscroft and Sons trading as Silver Service of Darley Dale.
Dubbed the cattle truck by the local paper, and safety fears from parents forced a change of route and more seats to be fitted.
This 1970 AEC Merlin 4P2R with MCW B32D body was originally London Transport MBS569.
