Hulme Hall, Cheadle Hulme SBA 448R

            I was in this yard a few days ago, and it certainly doesn't look like this any more - the potholes are so wide and deep that I wouldn't dare to drive my car in there, as there is a fair chance I wouldn't get it out again ! Half of the yard was flooded and inaccessible without wellies, but given that most of the vehicles there now were withdrawn or abandoned, it didn't bother anyone that they couldn't reach them ....

In happier times, when it was the Hulme Hall depot, this was the last remaining AEC Reliance on fleet strength - so not the best of times then, either ! SBA 448R had come from Fred Leigh at Middleton in late 1984, following the closure of his firm, and stayed here for five years. Then it almost returned home in 1989, when it was sold to Mostonian Coaches, and was their first AEC for a number of years. In 1992 it went down to Kent for its final spell.
