Ex Southend Fleetline, Ripley, Carlton, 2017
An unidentified ex Southend, Leyland Fleetline that had been another long term resident of Geoff Ripley's scrap yard at Carlton, South Yorkshire.
Certainly one of the later NCME examples, likely from the 1980-81 - MRJ-W batches. The rear registration plate was not readable behind the grimy glass cover, and access to the interior of the bus would have been very difficult.
It seemed that efforts were being made to clear this part of the yard. I can't imagine that the battered bus lasted too much longer.
