(19 Apr 2020, 8:58 pm)col87 My earliest memory was at Primary school in Hartlepool just when Stagecoach had took over Hartlepool Transport. I can't remember why but stagecoach where at the school and it was my first experience of been on a Volvo B10 and finding it a new experience from the REs Nationals and Falcons at the time. During break I would often see the buses use the stop opposite the school as a layover point and watch as the driver used to change the destination by winding though all the place names. Was an exciting time as young bus enthusiast seeing the all different types of bus and 3 different liverys at the time. The stagecoach stripes the Hartlepool Transport Maroon and cream and the yellow and orange of Tees and Distract. Of course I never knew at the time that they was a big change happening in the town's bus network with a load of services changing and the slow demise of the Bristol RE.
