Theatre Bus visits Blackpool

The theatre bus outside the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool ready for an afternoon performance tour

A rather strange looking bus was seen on the streets of Blackpool this week. The vehicle is the Rear View open-top theatre bus, which is currently touring the streets of Blackpool with daily performances being given by poets from the LeftCoast arts group. The theatre bus was converted from Alexander bodied Volvo B10M Citybus G91 PES, new as Tayside 91 of Dundee in 1989.
