After a comment on the last but one posting of mine, by 'jupiler64', I rummaged out this shot of a bus which I thought might have been the same one. Anyway, turns out that it isn't, but as I'd turned it up, I thought that I'd post it. 340 NKT, another ex Maidstone & District AEC Reliance is seen in central Sheffield in the ownership of famous Independent Booth & Fisher of Halfway. This operator of many wonderful aged omnibuses had recently been acquired by South Yorkshire PTE, who were to sweep away the majority of the inherited gems and replace them with less elderly buses from their constituent fleets shortly afterwards.
