 One Bristol VR and three Roe bodied Leyland Olympians are seen lined up in Gloucester Bus Station. A Cheltenham VR can be seen in the distance giving a colour mix of blue, yellow green and red! | ||

This VR is seen at work in Bristol city with the cathedral in the background and a City Olympian. A second look reveals that this is a rare highbridge example and one of the entire fleet of 15 transferred from London Country Bus Services in whose fleet they were a little out of place.

 A fascinating history lies behind Eastern National 1404 (VHK177L) seen here at SHOWBUS in 2008. The coach started life in 1972 with Tillings Travel as 9441. Tillings was a subsidiary of Eastern National at the time and later formed part of National Travel South East. The coach was selected in 1981 to be the prototype for the final mass produced ECW coach body which it is seen modelling. Its original attractive ECW body was scrapped. The coach transferred to Bristol Omnibus in 1985 and became part of Badgerline's fleet the following year. In 1992 the Bristol RELH6G was sold to Yorkshire operator Northern, where it stayed until going into preservation in 1998. In 2010 it found a home at the East Anglia Transport Museum. |
