Stonier's of Tunstall Seddon Midi, XVU 334M , Kidsgrove Town Service.

            A picture that I never really rated when I took it because the bus was practically 'front end on'. I re-discovered it a couple of months ago and noticed what a time capsule it has become. It was taken in about 1983/4 and shows one of Stonier's two Seddon 'Midi' buses, ex Greater Manchester XVU 334M working one of the three routes which made up the Kidsgrove Town Service. The scene is still recognisable today, but 'Liverpool Road' signal box has gone, and you'll never find another BR or for that matter any liveried 304 EMU passing. The little Seddon survived until the end of Stonier's and take over by PMT in 1987.
