Bedford YLQ Plaxton Ex YRY 509T

Here is a copy of a letter dated3rd October 1987, addressed to Boyden International Coaches 88 Station Road Castle Donington Derby. Dear Sirs, Ithought you might be interested to learn that a Boydens coach is operating on the Mediterranean Island of Malta. I took the enclosed photograph on 1st of September near the Triton Fountain just outside Valletta City Gate. The coach built by Plaxton with a Bedford engine was operating on the bus service number 88 from Valletta to Zebbug. The vehicle now has the Maltese registration number EBY 477, but still has the Boyden name on the front. The windows at the drivers side display stickers for Alton Towers, Chatsworth, Museum of Brewing Burton on Trent and cheddar Caves Somerset. I spoke to the driver who said that he had purchased the vehicle from Treharris in South Wales. He was keen to hear about your firm and the places on the stickers.
