Keith Coaches AEC Reliance Harrington 1234PP
This coach, 1234PP, characterised the Keith Coaches fleet in many ways - the AEC chassis, the Harrington coachwork and the distinctive registration. It was not too long after the fleet had standardised on Harrington that the company ceased making coachwork and Keiths turned to Plaxton. AEC followed later and the choice fell to Leylands, though Bedfords joined the fleet too. Reliance 1234PP is on a private hire for Hazells Club, Hazells being a book manufacturer in the town for many years.

Red Rover Keith Coaches AEC Reliance Duple TAA700
Kingsbury Square again - the bus terminus in Aylesbury before the 'black hole' under the shopping centre was built. An RT on the 301 waits behind as this Duple Britannia AEC heads out to North Marston on the Buckingham Road. This 1958 Reliance, TAA700, also arrived from Creamline.
