This looks like a familiar scene of a Mayne bus loading up for places like Clayton and Dukinfield east of Manchester as they have been doing since since 1925 when it first ran proper buses along the Ashton New Road. However since this operator finally gave in and sold the bus side of it's coach business to Stagecoach even the one's not yet repainted have flowered huge seemingly meaningless fleet numbers. I can see old drivers reminiscing over a brew or a pint about that great old Scania bus with the number 14 that rattled like hell but simply left everything else standing. But I ask you how many will remember 15381 or was it 13851? No I don't know if this bus was a belter or not but it was certainly still wearing the right colours for a change and still looked worth a photo despite the rain.
