WMT 1918, Penn, Wolverhampton, 1995 - a photo on Flickriver

WMT 1918, Penn, Wolverhampton, 1995

            The tower of St Bartholomew's Church dominates the skyline in this view of Vicarage Road at Penn in Wolverhampton. Travelling from Wolverhampton to Sedgley via Penn Common in September 1995 is 'West Midlands Travel' 1918, a Plaxton bodied Dennis Dart dating from 1992. 

The bus had started life with Smiths of Tysoe, passing to Travel West Midlands in 1994 on the takeover of that business by TWM. Numbered D87, then 808, and later 1918 by TWM, it worked out of Wolverhampton for a few short years before being transferred to Travel Dundee in Scotland.

After withdrawal by Travel Dundee, the bus was disposed of to   Cavalier Contracts of Long Sutton, Lincolnshire in late 2002, also trading as Huntingdon & District, (Cambs). The bus carried both Cavalier Travel's all blue livery, and later Huntingdon & District blue and cream colours. In 2008, the Cavalier/Huntingdon & District business was acquired by Stagecoach PLC, where upon the Dart became 32030 under Stagecoach ownership. Beyond that, I would estimate that it lasted until about 2009 before the scrap man came calling.
