RHY-768M.Wessex
As we see it today the here today gone tomorrow NBC didn't show the respect the bus industry's history deseved and with unimaginative branding just did away with not just liveries but great memorable names like Bristol Greyhound the coaching division of the giant Bristol Omnibus Company. Yes Wessex might have been memorable for a couple of reasons but the name came from a relivtively insignificant Bristol Independent they had bought. The National Bus Company quicky started to do away with
the Leyland, AEC and Daimler BET regime and imposed on both BTC and BET operators the Leyland National and of course he ECW bodied Bristol. But as for coach work out went the Bristol as the main heavyweight coach as it kept hold of the Leyland stalwart the reliable Leopard like this Plaxton Panorama bodied example on it's way to London firmly in the picture.
