Arriva Midlands North 2141 (MX12 CEV) in Bridgnorth - 18 Apr 2023 (P1150188)

Tuesday 18 April 2023 (1459) – Arriva Midlands North 2141 (MX12 CEV), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro200D new in April 2012 allocated to Telford garage.

It was parked in the High Street in Bridgnorth just before working the 1500 town service 101.

In the background is The North Gate, now the only remaining of the five town gates of Bridgnorth. The original structure dates from the 1740s although the outer facing dates from circa 1910.

There is a rather delightful photograph on the Omnibus Society website taken in the 1950s of a Whittle’s Leyland Royal Tiger bus seen near The North Gate which provides an interesting comparison over the ensuing 70 or so years: theomnibussociety.zenfolio.com/p998617896
