They say you are getting old when the policemen start looking younger. Another way of looking at it is when instead of being excited at the prospect of seeing lots of new buses we mourn the prospect of old friends heading for extinction. Variety is not what it was either and even Cannock is only a shadow of it's former self remembering the days when elsewhere they were fast disappearing but not only could the legendary Warstone (Green Bus) come up with some fine Leyland PD3 half-cabs it also operated a rare Massey-bodied Johannesburg Guy Arab. Less exciting but becoming quite scarce in 2006 was one of a number of MCW Metrobuses still in service with West Midlands, and it was pleasing to note that No.2765 had just returned from a repaint. I never thought I would say it but I was also pleased to see an ex London Leyland National Mark One belonging to Chase turn up as well.
