The 375's being run by double deckers at the minute, and I keep thinking how incongruous they must look parked up at the end of a farm track in the middle of Shiloh Road, surrounded by fields and a view towards Kinder Scout.
Yes, interesting picture. They certainly do look out of place up there - and of course there are no passengers!
So I was quite interested to see that picture of a double decker bus coming off Shiloh Road in the 1980s!

As far as I can recall, back in the 1980s, most 363 buses would turn round at Mellor rec (just as some 375s do now), but a few would continue to New MIlls, and a few others would continue up through Moor End and turn round at Five Lane Ends - in those days they didn't drive along Shiloh Road to turn round. It looks as though that's what the bus in the picture is doing. If you look very closely you can see the angle of the front wheels, and that the doors are open, and I think the driver is in the process of turning round.
