WMPTE 2496, St Mark's Road, Wolverhampton, 1985

            A fellow flickrite has asked me if I have a picture of Wolverhampton Metrobus 2496 (POG496Y), when it was still in service with WMPTE.  I don't have many of it, but here's a picture of the said vehicle with WMPTE.

This picture was taken in St Mark’s Road, Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton at the back of St Mark’s Church. I had specifically requested the bus to take a party of deprived children on a day trip to the Blue John Mines at Castleton in the Peak District, simply because the bus was the fastest of the MK2s Metrobuses (2489-2498) allocated to Wolverhampton’s Park Lane Garage. I have to say that she did a grand job and never missed a beat, a super day had by all. 

2496 is seen awaiting the arrival of the children prior to making the journey to Derbyshire.

26th July 1985.
