Does anybody else remember the Park and Ride from Charlotte Road Bus Depot. Im sure it used the Dodge Minbuses. Im thinking it was the ones which where numbered around 385-390, and the ones which had the seats with the backs to the windows? (why was that done)?
Does anybody have any info, pics please? Also was there anymore Park and Ride's around here. We don't seem to have many compared to alot of other places.

Ended up in normal service with hardly any seats in them.

I was wondering the other day about some of the temporary Christmas "shoppers" P&R services - I think that there was one around Shalesmoor (though I didn't know the area back in those days, so can't be certain of a location). I'm thinking late '80s?
What era was the Charlotte Road service?
We don't have many, but then the other PTE areas seem late adopters of P&R - compared to places like Chester/ York - something that South Yorkshire possibly does better than West Yorkshire/ Greater Manchester.
