Bus on Wellington Road, Bilston, Wolverhampton
The image shows the A41, looking towards Bilston town centre.
There was me thinking I'd get a good picture of the local bus. No such luck; not in service. Never mind. It's a Dennis (Plaxton) Dart bus. Over eleven thousand were made from 1989 to 2008. Y392HKE has had a respray! See it in service in Dudley and Walsall here: http://wmbusphotos.com/Midland/2392.html and also in Bromley in 2005 http://londonbusesbyadam.zenfolio.com/p600212766/h1FBB9E13#h1fbb9e13
