Arriva Volvos

I must admit I don't find buses today anything to get excited about, but the way my local operator Arriva moves it's old buses adds some interest and even some variety. Today the rather insipid aquamarine sea of buses seems to be full of Dennis Darts, but some short East-Lancs bodied Volvos that started life with Grey Green in London come in from Cannock. The three local examples spent some time at Stafford first and weren't very popular with the drivers as they only had three forward gears which made them slow for country running.
