Southend Transport 249 A249SVW Leyland Tiger TRCTL11/3RP - Duple Caribbean
Southend Transport went into the coaching side of the business in a big way, mainly for use on their X1 Southend - London - Reading commuter service joint with Reading Transport. This service was initially a great success due to the continuous strikes and poor service on the London - Tilbury - Southend railway line, or the 'Misery Line' as it became known. It was later cut back to London Aldgate although certain journey continued to Heathrow Airport. 249 is seen here on Aldgate High Street passing Aldgate Bus Station when heading for Southend in June 1988.
The camera being a Praktica MTL3.
