Parked next to the Olympian in the previous photostream shot were these two different ex PMT Mercedes 709D, both turned out in First Manchester orange. 1880 on the right is a Dormobile-bodied example, while 1879 is a Plaxton specimen and still carries temporary number 7436. This was a legacy of the changeover period between the two First group companies, where vehicles had a seven added to the front of their existing PMT number.

Fareham Railway Station, November 2020.
Yesterday (23 July 2016) was the final day of operation for another of Greater Manchester's remaining local service operators, this time Checkmate of Mossley. However, it wasn't the first "last day" for Checkmate, as local service operation had ceased for a period between 1996 and 1998. The opportunity to see a plain white Solo doing endless loops of Shaw was one that I firmly avoided, so viewers will have to make do with some scans of a few slides that I managed to dig out from the early days of the firm. Mossley businessman Sam Tandy already had his fingers in several pies, running taxis, as well as a bakery and a sauna and solarium. He began PSV operation at de-regulation, having won the GMPTE contract for the 352 service between Ashton-under-Lyne, Mossley and Denshaw. His first vehicle was this Bedford CF with a Deansgate "Red Rose" body, KDB 765P, which is pictured leaving Ashton bus station with Sam at the wheel in the first month of operation. Note the industry standard for new operators at the time of having everything laid out across the windscreen, i.e. destination board, Almex machine, and probably cash bag !
