Happy Birthday christopher


August 28th is my Birthday so here is a nice memory of Stafford in the early Nineties when Staffordian Coaches before they sold the service to Midland Red North operated three of it's four secondhand Leyland Leopards going passed my house on the H.Nicholls route to Tixall and the Heywood's that this operator formerly knows as Greatrex took over in 1966. Probably the smartest and the smoothest sounding of them all of them was PBO 675R which hummed along a Plaxton Supreme Express 'Grant' bodied example that started life with that well known Welsh Independent Hills of Tredegar. As the driver was a friend of mine I always rode for free which was nice.
