Saturday 31 May 2014 saw a special event to Mark 85 years of Cheltenham District Traction and the retirement of Stagecoach West Managing Director Mr Ian Manning. A number of preserved buses ran on stage carriage services between Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as per photographs below.

I remember the old Gloucester Bus Station from when I used to drive the 372/3 route from Worcester. It was closed in October 2018, so I never drove in there for Stagecoach as I started with them in January 2019. When I left Stagecoach in June 2020, the old bus station was simply a huge mount of rubble that was once the multi-story car park.

I used to have to meet NatEx coaches there in the dead of night. Great place to wait with random homeless, kids and drunks with no facilities for drivers.
