Runcorn busway, Castlefields ? 1971
The busway had opened in October of that year as the world's first rapid transit busway, operating on dedicated roadways.
This view is taken at one of the satellite suburban centres, Castlefields, showing the bus stop under cover of a high level walkway/parade. This building has since been demolished and the immediate area is now semi-pedestrianised. The section of busway behind the photographer is now available to local traffic as well as buses.
To operate services the local operator Crosville purchased a fleet of Seddon RU single-deck buses. This was a radical departure from their traditional vehicle policy which was almost exclusively of Bristol origin, but Seddons were able to supply a large number of the type at a time when other types were suffering considerable delays in delivery dates. Seen here is bus SPG783 (OFM783K), delivered in October 1971 for the opening of the busway.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
