Goodwin, Stockport GSV 905 - a photo on Flickriver

            Alan got his hands on a pair of Glenton Reliances at the end of 1986, this Supreme and a slightly older Elite, which had come from Thomson's Tours of Trentham and Copelands at Meir. First to be painted was LYU 151P, which had also just received GSV 905 from Goodwin's short run of GSV plates - but the "Goodwin's Super Volvo" tagline didn't really apply in this case ! 

While they may have been fine for Glenton's leisurely tours of Britain, where time was of no real importance, it was a different story here in Manchester, and they really weren't popular with drivers, their crash boxes and manual centre doors not being appreciated by everyone ! This one was sold to Ericsway Coaches in March 1987, but returned again later in the year (not liked in Eccles either ....), and after a further short stay, made its way to Supreme Travel in north Manchester in early 1988.
