Jim's First Group Photos

Welcome to my First Group collections, and I hope they are of some interest.

I have put the collections in numbered groups similar to those of Stagecoach. The thing about First's idea of renumbering into groups is ok up to a point, although some of the renumbering from their individual company styles does not follow any logical sequence.

An example being N41-43 RRP ex-Northampton machines Volvo B10L / Ar Ultra. They are 61242-66042-61146. Good, eh!!

About Me
I would like to thank you for taking time to look at my site.

I have been taking photographs since 16 March 1970, the date of my first psv photograph. This happened to be the rear end of a SELNEC Pte Fleetline turning into Oldham Street in Manchester. Have included it in my collections. I have always lived in Manchester, so of course the majority of photographs have been taken in the area.

But as you will see from my list of collections, I have been allowed out of Manchester on several occasions.


Location:Manchester, England
