Yellow Coaches, Bournemouth, 203 D203ELJ - Volvo B10M-50 CityBus - East Lancs

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, in 09/1986, this ungainly looking coach seated B10M CityBus, is seen here, leading a Tiger sandwich, with sister 201, C201YPR, new in 07/1986, on Millbank, Westminster, London, on 06/081994. The filling in the sandwich, so to speak, is 6, RIB8746, a Plaxton Paramount 3200 bodied Leyland Tiger TRCTL11/3RH, new in 05/1985, numbered 96 and registered B96TLJ. It was new along with sister 95, B95TLJ, which would become numbered 5 and registered RIB8745. There was a hefty contingent from the south coast, and Dorset in particular, on this occasion in London.

 

The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being the excellent Fujichrome.
