Hartlepool 9 (BEF 709T) - a photo on Flickriver

            And so on to Hartlepool, a visit which in no way went to plan, and left me needing to do a return visit at some point ....

I must have spotted the council bus depot as I was arriving, as I found myself there very quickly. Various buses were parked on the road outside, and this one stuck out more than the others - literally ! I rarely took rear-end shots (these being the days of expensive film, so off-beat ones like this were a rarity), but this was unlike anything that I had seen before. It is East Lancs, though .... 

They bodied 8 single-deck Dominators in all, a single-door pair for Barrow and 6 of these for Hartlepool. I suppose it is hard to know what to do when you have the engine sticking out the back like that, and no upper deck to create a vertical line. Anyway they were unique to this operator, for the 10-12 years that they stayed on the road. All were scrapped by 1991 though.
