B & D Travel, Stockport P381 ARY

            I got distracted this afternoon, while putting the slides of Elite vehicles back in their boxes, and I started getting other slides out ! Here are a few more local shots from 1996, when it was all so much better ....

Dave Fletcher's first brand new coach for his B & D Travel fleet arrived in 1996, which was also one of the earliest examples of the Beulas-bodied Iveco Eurorider in the country. Both chassis and body were new to the UK, and some people thought he was mad to take a punt on this as his first new coach, but he and his drivers absolutely loved it, with a second one joining the following year, and this one being replaced by one with a higher-spec El Mundo body in 2000. 

This was our first chance to take it out for a run around and a photo stop in the month since it had arrived - and before it got any scrapes on it ! 

It briefly returned 'home' in 2003/4, when Martin Williamson, who owned Diplomat Travel in Stockport, ran it for a few months, at the time when he was sharing space in B & D's depot in Reddish !
