Preserved: The Blundell Group - Smiths Happiway - Spencers, Wigan - 107 BTB690T - AEC Reliance 6U3ZR - Duple Dominant II
Smiths Happiway - Spencers were the forerunner of the now defunct Shearings Holidays although that former tour operator is now a name only brand after it collapsed during 2020. Smiths bought forty-three of the AEC Reliance/Duple Dominant combination and also had three earlier Reliance's re-bodied with Duple Dominant coach work. This fine example, new in 06/1979, was delivered in the last batch of seven and was the penultimate one in that batch. It is seen here having had a re-fuel when leaving the Stagecoach in Cumbria Lillyhall depot open-day on 24/05/2003.
The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Fujichrome Colourslide.
