RDX 20R & SDX 60, Ipswich Atlantean & Regent V, Electric House, 1980
Atlantean 20 displays the livery applied to the 35 vehicles of similar design delivered between 1975 and 1977 - and why the livery soon fell out of favour! Bus 20 is barely three years old but already looks very care-worn and grubby, compared with the seventeen year old Regent V in more traditional colours alongside. Bus 20 and her sisters were repainted in a new style of predominantly green livery over the next few years. The AEC Reliance parked behind the Regent V carries the single deck variant of the old Ipswich Corporation livery.
Personally, I'd favour any of these liveries over the bizarre colour schemes currently being applied to our local buses!!
