Who would have thought I would get nostalgic about minibues


I remember Bridgnorth in Shropshire from Saturday Afternoon trips from my first boarding school on Wenlock Edge. In those days the Midland Red buses were all BMMO's from a number of different garages such as the nearest Wellington, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Kidderminster and Stourbridge. I think as I took this rear view of Tullus Ford Transit No.92 I was picturing a red and black S13's or a nicer older more rounded S6 or S10. Of course small buses were nothing new here as Corvedale Motors ran former London Transport (GS) Guy-Special buses in this still delightful town. Even then in the early Nineties the individual colours of local operators added some interest to the bus scene but today sadly this is just another tranche of that indifferent looking Arriva aquamarine worst luck.
