Shrewsbury Barker Street Bus Station

An interesting and busy scene looking down from the multi-storey car park that overlooks the old Shrewsbury Bus Station in Barker Street. At the end of the Eighties Midland Red North had passed to Drawline and even though National Express seemed the same, Independent and even Municipal Operators were quickly taking over these Express Services from former NBC member companies. Consequently odd looking vehicles started to appear like this Ikarus bodied Volvo being followed out of the bus station by a more typical Plaxton 3500 bodied Leyland Tiger.
One thing hadn't altered and that was the separate departure stands for the smaller operators separated from the main bus station by the historic half-timbered museum, and here as well as a Worthen's Leyland Leopard was a little Bedford so some things never seemed to change at least.
