Back with its brethren
Another Boro'line bus that seemed drawn back to the south east was this one. One of the rare Wright TT-bodied Bedfords, this one was of the shorter YMQ variety. It was new as ABH760X, to a firm which I believe was called Shaw & Kilburn. Not sure who they were, but I'm assuming it must have been a dealer demonstrator. Anyway, it subsequently joined Boro'line as no. 260, and was in due course reregistered 851PKJ.
By late-1992 it had rejoined two of its fellows with Rambler, taking the number 12. Along the way it had changed identity again to MUY41X, during (I believe) a short stay with flickrite Wactonbus' business in Herefordshire.
In due course a fourth ex-Boro'line Bedford / Wright would also join the fleet, YMT C203GKR. That had strayed far from home with Glossopdale in Greater Manchester but also returned to the south east as Rambler 07.
