DSCF5657 Stagecoach East garage in Bedford - 7 Oct 2016

Friday 7 October 2016 (1220) – I took a ride on Stagecoach East Optare Solo 47436 (YJ56 AOL) working service 3 in Bedford. The service travels along the raised section of London Road (a bridge that once crossed the Cambridge-Oxford railway line) which offers a high view of the company’s garage in St. John’s Street.

In this photograph snapped from on board the bus there was unfortunately a man walking past just at the wrong moment who helped fill the shot. However, a little photo editing has beheaded him for his misdemeanour! The garage was originally built for the United Counties Omnibus Company and the ghostly outline of the company name is visible on brickwork.
