Memories of Bretonside: Westward VWX350X

I'm not sure Plymouth will be quite the same now that the mighty Stagecoach is replacing all the faded and rather old First Barbi liveried buses in Plymouth. Of course the changes since Western National days have been gradual and even though the decline of Bretonside Bus Station has been a slow one it has always been with us as a landmark and facility. Now sadly run down In the far off days of the Nineties it was still a hive of activity and not only a bit of a sun-trap but an excellent place for a bit of bus photography. A stalwart of the period was the Shearings coach with it's winning Van-Hool Volvo B10M combination but even though stylistically looking a bit dated the former Wallace Arnold Bova still looked quite classy in subtle Westward greys.
