All change at Wolverhampton

It just exists! Maybe it's something about being a child with little memory to fall back on that makes everything seem so static with no past and just a narrow future. But as we get older all these memories unfurl like an endless magic carpet of events. This view of Wolverhampton Bus Station was taken about fifteen years ago which for a child is more than a lifetime but to me as an adult it still seems just like yesterday. It's hardly surprising then that everything has gone even if most of the noticeable changes are quite recent. The eye catching Midland Red North East-Lancs bodied Dennis Dart L510 BNX became an Arriva liveried bus long ago and no doubt withdrawn by now whilst an immaculate Warstone's Green Bus Leyland Leopard also bodied by East-Lancs is another memory and even the last indestructible West Midland's Travel Metrobus has finally recently gone too. To cap it all the bus station is closed as well as it gets a total makeover. Arriva wont be using the new one though as even the big operator's will do anything to save costs and prefer to use local streets.
