Back in 1974 TGM's fledging bus operations were maintained by three Bedford YRQs with Plaxton Derwent bus bodies. The first of the trio, SYO600N, was displayed at SHOWBUS 74 at the Hillingdon Show.

 By good fortune we have this scanned 35mm colour slide of SYO600N at Hillingdon in the company of a Rickards coach. This was back in the days before Stephen Telling, who acquired Golden Miller in 1972, had added his name to the brand. The origins of the Golden Miller name allegedly go back to 1934 when Fred Varney founded the company with the winnings on a horse of that name which won the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Grand National that year, whic explains the company logo too.

Former Glasgow Alexander bodied Atlantean LA8 (SGD586) dating from 1962 enjoyed a brief stay in the otherwise all singledeck fleet. It is seen climbing Windsor Castle Hill on the occasion of the Royal Silver Jubilee in 1977. The bus was in the parade to Showbus at the Hillingdon Show.
