Eden VAM
A few days ago whilst scanning the photo collection belonging a friend, I came across a badly damaged Plaxton works picture. I had a pop at restoring most of the damage, but then the urge to colourise the old B&W overcame me.
TUP 189E was a Bedford VAM with Plaxton's 'Derwent' bodywork which was delivered new (as here) to Bishop Auckland area independent 'The Eden'. I don't know how long the operator continued to buy 'lightweight' buses, but the recollection from my youth is of similarly bodied Leyland Leopards.
