WEH130G PMT Daimler Roadliner in Stafford

THE SHOCK OF THE NEW. With it being the new year I thought I might put on a photo of a brand new bus on, though I do find it hard to believe but it's fifty year ago 1969. The proud young driver looking looks on as I take my photo for the small seven bus PMT garage in Glover Street didn't have any new buses till No,130 arrived especially as it's entire allocation was replaced with a new fleet in 1961-2. Plaxton bodied WEH 130G looks innocuous enough but this was the fabled Daimler Roadliner widely regarded as the UK's worst single-decker ever built and whereas most just had a few PMT in their wisdom built up a large fleet of them which led to problems.
