Stonier's KVD 15E. - a photo on Flickriver

Stonier's KVD 15E.

            My early years of bus photography were littered with blurred and out of focus efforts, which of course you didn't realise until you collected the results from the chemist. The poorer negatives found their way into a file euphemistically titled '2nd rate'! Needless to say, they remained un-printed and only with the ability to digitally scan them could you see what they would have looked like at their full horror. Tinkering around in  photos on my phone a few  days ago I came across an edit feature which said 'un-blur', so with a bit of jiggery pokery uploaded some of the offending scans and pressed the button. Now, whilst the results weren't perfect, they did improve by a good 50% . . . such that in this case, I feel sufficiently comfortable to share this offering.
It shows Stonier's ex Hutchison of Overtown Willowbrook (Duple badged) AEC Reliance 470 KVD 15E turning into Meadows Road, Kidsgrove in 1976/7. This was an unofficial terminus of Stonier's Kidsgrove - Meir service, for use only when a highbridge double decker was allocated. It was however more convenient than the official Gloucester Road turning point so became the norm by default.
