Arriva Midlands North 3321 (FJ64 ETX) in Bridgnorth - 18 Apr 2023 (P1150217)

Tuesday 18 April 2023 (1807) – Arriva Midlands North 3321 (FJ64 ETX) seen in the passing through The North Gate in Bridgnorth when arriving from Telford on the 1710 service 8.

It is a Wright StreetLite DF new in January 2015 and allocated to Telford garage.

The North Gate is now the only remaining of the five town gates of Bridgnorth. The original structure dates from the 1740s although the outer facing dates from circa 1910.

Note the lettering in the stonework above the shop on the left which reads ‘Fire Engine Station’.

There is a rather delightful photograph on the Omnibus Society website taken in the 1950s of a Whittle’s Leyland Royal Tiger bus taken close to the same spot as this photo:
