Nothing more evocative than a bus stop

How easy it is to forget or never knew an older way to travel by bus through Salford.


And just for good measure because I can and because once I chanced my pocket money on a machine like this, here is how sweets were dispensed long before now


Leaving me just to complete the trio of lost Salford transport, with the bus to the "Docks" which is now as much a lost item as an old penny, the Bandit biscuit and jumping on a slow moving bus from the rear.


Location; Transport Museum, Queen Street, Manchester
