SERVICE COACHES BEBSIDE
Another posting of a member of the "Service Coaches" fleet from Bebside in Northumberland.
This one is a 1946 ex United Bristol K5G. You can tell the body was built in 1946 by the sqared off sliders along the side, with radiused window pans below. All the 1946 bodies were like that, until, presumably, they had exhaused all supplies. Forthe 1947 bodies ECW introduced aluminium sliders within their own window pans. The arrangement most people are more familiar with. This type of window arranged lasting on ECW bodies until the last of the VR's in 1982.
Looks like there is an ex Bristol Omnibus highbridge K lurking in the background also.
