Just had a look at your site, which has taken me back a bit. 1980 was the year a couple of mates dragged me down to Stourbridge Garage as a ten year old from when I became hooked. I remember spending every Sunday at the garage musing how it was a shame that the three D12's (6129, 6111) parked at the far side of the garage were withdrawn. I always enjoyed seeing the remaining D12 (6045), until that became the fourth D12 at the side in 1981, and the remaining three S23's (5932, 5981 and 5986).

I have got a few black and white pictures of various buses in Stourbridge Bus Station from, I would say either 1980 or 1981, probably 1980 as service 295 is in evidence and 5981, which was withdrawn in January 1981. I went to my first bus rally in 1981 at Sandwell with 5981 after the Stourbridge Drivers bought it.
