Thomas Coaches, Cheadle Heath YRY 998T

            Thomas Coaches was one of the first small coach operators that I started to visit from the late 1970s onwards, with an ever-changing fleet and brand new coaches arriving on a regular basis, as well as a small-scale dealership sideline, they kept my notebook very busy. Alas, by 1985, things were starting to fall apart, all the newer vehicles had gone, and much of the fleet was running around in as-acquired condition. This Ford R1014 was an odd exception in blue and white fleet colours, having come from south Wales operator Davies of Porth a couple of years earlier. 

But if things weren't bad enough, they had a real piece of ill luck with this Ford, a sheet of paper in the windscreen stating that the 'tax disc and number plates have been stolen' - how tragic ! 

If only they had asked me to help, I could have told them where they were ....
