1990: Endangered Species
The camera I was using was a reasonable but limited point and shoot Konica. The downside was that I couldn't set the shutter speed to stop a moving vehicle. I took a gamble here and it paid off, probably because the bus was slowing for a junction.
By 1990, there was very little left to remind anyone of Coventry Transport but the last buses they ordered, could still be seen. There were 40 of these East Lancs Fleetlines, new in 1977-78 to the West Midlands PTE but fewer than half were still running by early 1990. I had no inside knowledge of or connections to West Midlands Travel and it seemed to me as though they had little time left to serve. I was glad to proved wrong.
This is 6743, new in 1977, about to turn into Daventry Road on route 21, in March 1990. The building behind is the start of a 1930s shopping parade, of a type which sprung up all around the UK in the inter war years.
