Yellow Coaches, Bournemouth - 12 E339EVH - DAF MB230LT615 - Plaxton Paramount 3500 III
Bournemouth Transport, the former municipal owned undertaking of Bournemouth Council, always had a small coaching arm of their bus operations and that later increased in size when the National Express operations were acquired with Dorset Travel Services in 04/1992. After privatisation, Bournemouth Transport became known under the fleetnames of Yellow Buses and Yellow Coaches. New to Happy Days, Woodseaves, numbered 169, in 03/1988, this mid-engined DAF is seen here making the left hand turn from Elizabeth Street, onto Buckingham Palace Road, opposite London Victoria Coach Station, on 27/07/1994. It had probably worked it's way in on a National Express duplicate, although there are no signs to indicate thus. I also think that this DAF was a leased vehicle from Hughes-DAF, Cleckheaton, going by the fact, it is dealer registered and also in non-company fleet livery. It's next operator would be Lowland, in Scotland, again in plain white but carrying Lowland fleetnames. It is of note, that my previous slide photo is one of a then current coach with Happy Days, this being a former coach of theirs.
The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being the excellent 'Fujichrome' colourslide.
I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 1994.
