Hampshire Coach in Wiltshire!
A superb if not very simple livery, and one that fits the lines of this stunning Duple Dominant 1 bodied Leyland Leopard.
This coach was new to National Travel South West, and would probrably have worked for Shamrock & Rambler before being given to the Southampton Garage in the NBC split. She is seen in this photograph operating on the London service, and is pictured at rest in Salisbury Bus Station during the eighties, before starting the 6 hour return trip ;-).
She would have been allocated to the Grosvenor Square garage at Southampton, which ironically enough was built on in the nineties and became the Norwich Union office, where I once worked. Spooky how I always felt at home in the office, and would spend hours staring out of the window!
