Excellent - a rarely-seen side of bus activity.
It may amuse you to know that a D9 currently features on a stand (Carlyle bus parts) at the Euro Bus Expo in Birmingham. It's not the only heritage bus there - the first Mancunian (1001) can also be seen.
In the Sixties I used to buy an excellent trade magazine called 'Bus and Coach' and each edition featured a different aspect of the industry with interesting well illustrated articles and many of these showed this side of bus work. Now restored in Manchester I've travelled on 1001 and it is still an impressive sight.
