Star of the show
A return visit to the M6 the following morning, to view southbound coaches taking MUFC supporters to the Charity Shield game at Wembley, yielded little in itself, but this was an unexpected bonus. A696 HNB has recently changed hands, and is now owned by the Charisma Stars dance troupe in Partington, having spent the previous 8 years with the A-Jays troupe in Bolton. At a guess, it would have been heading to an event in the Stoke-on-Trent area, as this is one of the dwindling number of areas (along with Manchester) where carnivals with dancing competitions still take place.
In contrast to the previous picture, I had an almost leisurely 5 seconds or so to grab this shot - we both joined the M6 within a few vehicles of each other at Knutsford, but even though I stopped at Sandbach 12 miles down the road, with the 50mph limit all the way down there, it still wasn't possible to pull that far ahead of it. By the time I had parked at the services, and got to the boundary fence, it was right there in front of me !
