Stevensons
Stevensons Daimler Fleetline MCW 41 & Bristol VRTSL3 ECW 50
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 Daimler Fleetline Park Royal 43
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.
 
 
Stevensons Daimler Fleetline MCW 31
Here is another DMS that met with accident damage and was written off after only 18 months with Stevensons in September 1982. It was their 31 (THM708M), MCW bodied DMS1708, it spents its London life at Potters Bar.
 
 
Stevensons Daimler Fleetline MCW MCW PRV 31 46 & 45
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.
 
 
CK Daimler Fleetline MCW 52
CK Coaches in Cardiff acquired THM586M, this MCW bodied Daimler Fleetline via Ensigns in 1981. It has spent its time in London working out of Poplar depot. The CK DMS buses were so iconic in the Welsh capital that the BBC hired one to spend the day in Aylesbury when they were filming a drama at Aylesbury Prison and pretending it was in Cardiff. A passing CK DMS was intended to complete the illusion. It is seen here in the fleet of Stevensons in their Uttoxeter yard and already numbered 52 in 1982. Stevensons converted it to single door, a process they were proficient at, but sold it on to Clynnog & Trevor in North Wales later that year the bus spending less than a year back in England and not gaining fleet livery. Four years later it made its last journey to England: to Yorkshire for scrap.
