Despite travelling across the UK for as long as I can remember, there was one region in England that I have not visited but only passed is the Potteries region in Staffordshire... The area covers Stoke-on-Trent which is a unitary authority and city; in fact Stoke-on-Trent was formed following the federation of six towns in 1910 and later gaining city status in 1925.
The six towns of Stoke consists of Burslem, Fenton, Hanley (the main commercial centre), Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent and Tunstall. The main operator within Stoke is First Potteries, a subsidiary within First Midlands.
Over the past decade, First Potteries has been seeing investment after years of neglect; it is one of the more eclectic of First's bus operations with a nice mixture of buses, but now modern and having experienced the operator first-hand, well-maintained interiors with friendly drivers.
Amongst First Potteries single-deck fleet which has been heavily modernised over the past decade, the subsidiary also operates two solitary Alexander Dennis Pointers, normally utilised on local services around Hanley. More often than not, they frequently appear on the 5 between Hanley and Abbey Hulton.
The two Pointers are easily distinguishable as they retain the first version of the Olympia livery, but their interiors are also non-standard... These Pointers originated from NCP Car Parks before going over to Melton Mowbray-based, West End Travel who were acquired by Centrebus in 2012. 43875/43876 were sold to Ensignbus by 2013 with First Potteries acquired them and where they remain ever since.

I put the camera on self-timer, with no flash, and I was inside in the evening when the light was low. I then pulled out the laser pointer and shone it all around the room - when the self-timer opened the shutter it captured the random patterns I was making.

There are 2 types of white pointer in Australia.
The great white shark also known as a white pointer, is arguably the world's largest known extant macropredatory fish and is known to prey upon a variety of other marine animals including fish, pinnipeds, and seabirds, and is ranked first in a list of number of recorded attacks on humans.
On the PLUS side, humans are not appropriate prey because shark's digestion is too slow to cope with the human's high ratio of bone to muscle and fat.
Accordingly, in most recorded attacks, great whites broke off contact after the first bite. Fatalities are usually caused by blood loss from the initial limb injury rather than from critical organ loss or from whole consumption.
My state, Queensland has the unenviable record for the highest number of recorded shark attacks with a total of 301, 89 fatal,186 injured and 26 no injuries. Oh joy.
The other type of white pointer is a lot more common, and while it is not normally lethal, there may be serious repercussions if it is unexpectardly encountered in the wild.
WARNING - If you are easily disturbed by the condition of wildlife stranded on rocks, do NOT look at the shot below of the other type of white pointer. You have been warned.

Fort Point is located at the southern side of the Golden Gate at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This fort was completed just before the American Civil War, to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships. The fort is now protected as Fort Point National Historic Site, a United States National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service as a unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Point,_San_Francisco

Promotion Bus
Former Lothian Buses SPD 61 (SK52OJE) has been restored in this livery as a promotional vehicle to advertise the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum at Lathalmond. The museum is contained within a formal Royal Navy stores depot just outside Dunfermline. It allows journeys around the site, which is substantial, and beyond to be offered by accessible vehicles. On top of the new livery, the bus has been refurbished internally, sporting Arriva seats instead of the rather in-your-face Lothian tartan seats it had previously.
