School bus memories
A long-standing friend from my school days sent me this card by an unknown photographer of a bus that regularly conveyed us to our Beverley alma mater.
Seen pausing in Bridlington en route to Scarborough, East Yorkshire Motor Services 609 (NRH220) is a Leyland PD2/12 that was new in 1953. Its Roe bodywork is specially contoured to fit the Gothic arch of the Beverley North Bar - once a distinct feature of EYMS double-decker buses. The bus alongside lacks that feature. It is one of 632/633, a pair of PD2/12s with low-bridge sunken-gangway bodywork.
I date the view to 1960/61. A Morris Oxford Farina passes behind. I do not endorse the claim made on the side advert: I was one of a great many who did not want Watney’s - it was one of the worst beers I have ever sampled. Bud Light shares it for my Wooden Spoon brew.
