Actually we do have many Polish people living in Stafford now but I don't think these two tradesmen are amongst their number. The attractive Arriva bus is more interesting as this Dennis Dart is not quite what it seems either as it was one of a small batch of four Marshall bodied Dennis Darts delivered to operate the Shrewsbury Park-and-Ride in 1994. After they were replaced on the contract M802-3/5 came to Stafford but M804 MOJ which had to be rebodied following an accident returned with a later style of Marshall body and went to Burton or Swadlincote. It was about three years ago and I only saw this bus once in Stafford because shortly afterwards in a cost-cutting exercise Arriva combined the Heywoods and Colwich services with the former Stevenson's 404 Service to Uttoxeter using Stafford based Darts .
My favourite poles are the ones used for dancing. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder has anybody ever thought of converting a bus for that sort of thing? The grabrails would do just fine.
I think it would be difficult and the girls would get rather bumped bruised as the bus went along. The trouble is an old bus might be rather unglamerous and there is not much headroom.
