Stevensons bought two new ECW bodied Bristol VRTSL3 coach seated doubledeckers. This is 50 (PFA50W) seen with MCW bodied Daimler Fleetline 41 (JGU284K), former DMS1284, which spent its seven years working out of Tottenham depot. The DMS, originally numbere 17, lasted with Stevensons until January 1990 when it was involved in an accident during a violent storm and was written off.

Stevensons 43 (MLK457L), former DM457 worked out of Leyton depot for its seven London years. It is seen in company with what is probably an ex Maidstone Corporation Massey bodied Leyland Atlantean. The DMS passed to Midland Fox for spares in late 1990.

The bus is seen here at the left hand line up of this trio at Uttoxeter depot. Alongside is sister 46 (MLH303L), then Park Royal bodied 45 (JGF196K). The latter was DMS196, acquired from Wombwell Diesels and returned to Yorkshire for scrap in 1991. The bus in the middle must have been a great buy as it spent most of its London life in store at various depots, seemingly only operating out of Victoria depot for just three years. In 1991 it was sold to Midland Fox for spares and the remains went for scrap two years later.
