Playing the Field

(BBC drama serial, 1998-2002)

Drama about a women's football team. One character becomes a bus driver; she trains on a Leyland-National, and later drives an Optare StarRider MCW Metrorider. (thanks Ewood Eddie)
The bus garage seen in this show appears also to be Trent's Belper garage used in Peak Practice, but seen from a different angle.
