I still think of this company as Procter of Hanley, as they once were. They later moved to Fenton but were still the same company until it was wound up in 2013.
Their main service had always been the 16 from Hanley to Leek and once it was joint with both PMT and Berresford's. If you look carefully at this photo you will see there is no destination blind, just the two ends of the route painted on the glass.
K320 FYG had been new as an Optare demonstrator but was later bought by Rhondda Buses as their 255, moving to the Parfitt's fleet and then taken over by Stagecoach but keeping the same fleet number throughout.
