Yellow Coaches, Bournemouth - 9 RIB8749 - DAF MB230LB615 - 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 the Yellow Coaches fleet, numbered 99, in 03/1991, this smart mid-engined DAF is seen here making at London Victoria Coach Station, on 27/07/1994, when operating on a National Express diagram. It was joined in the fleet by three similar secondhand models. Seen in the left of the photo, is Trathens Travel Services, Plymouth, H202AOD, a Neoplan Skyliner N122/3, new in 10/1990, while just glimpsed to the right of the photo is a couple of Bus Eireann coches, awaiting departure back to their native Republic of Ireland.
The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being the excellent 'Fujichrome' colourslide.
