Today we planned to do a similar move to last Friday, covering the #7A and then going to Stone on the #250. I got home from work and we set off for Longton just after 16:00. As we were a bit late, I decided to go to Uttoxeter road to intercept the 7A. We only had a few minutes to wait for this bus, but we turn down First PMT 61235 on the preceding #6 service. When the bus appeared we new instantly it was the much sought after by us Wardle Transport Wright Handybus Dennis Dart 2001. We had been after this bus for a few years as a D&G vehicle. Often on the #41 service, but never when we went to cover it specifically or it was going the other way! Matthew took the shot just to prove it was real...
Yay! Wardle Transport 2001 is finally caught on the 7a to Cheadle (Matt)
Initially I booked to Meir but Matthew wanted a longer ride, so I went to re-book to Cheadle. After a good 35 minutes on this bus bombing down country lanes to the south of Draycott. we arrived in Cheadle just after 17:00. As we got off Matthew photographed the inside.

...He then got a picture as it went away to work the return to Longton.

having planned to do something else i made inquiries about the correct stop for Hanley and we waited for approximately 10 minutes before. First PMT 65033 appeared. I initially thought that this was required but we had been on this bus last year on the 5th June...

When we got on this bus i booked to Hanley, but I then arranged to met mum at Werrington at it would be busty in Hanley by the time we returned. A short while later we arrived in Werrington and Matthew got another shot.
