Not For Resale! Ex Walsall CT Atlantean 841 on the fuel pumps in 1970

            Unique in the Walsall Corporation Bus fleet, 841 (841 FDH) was a Metro Cammell bodied Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 dating from 1959. The vehicle had an unusual 'bench' seating arrangement upstairs, and also had green leatherette seats instead of the red leatherette covered seating normally associated with Walsall corporation's buses. 841 passed in to the ownership of West Midlands PTE in October 1969, where it became 841L. It is pictured here, parked on the fuel pumps in the entrance to the cavernous interior of Birchills Bus Depot, Walsall in 1970. The bus was eventually withdrawn from service in 1977 by WMPTE and sold on for scrap. The glass globes on the fuel pumps warn that the diesel fuel is 'Not for Resale' and the red vehicle parked to the right of the picture is the old Walsall Corporation AEC Matador recovery truck...wonderful stuff from a bygone era.
