DAR529K Blagdon Lioness Coaches
Bedford VAS5 / Plaxton C29F new May 1972 , acquired by Blagdon Lioness Coaches Ltd in September 1976 from Guards , London W1. It is picking up at Blagdon Village Hall on the Thursdays only bus service to Bristol , with Terry Lyons at the wheel.
A few months before this in December 1976 I had travelled on DAR529K on this service with Terry Lyons driving , and the coach got stuck on ice on a hill between Butcombe and Nempnett Thrubwell. The service operated through some very narrow lanes and the grant motor YYB967N could not be used on it.
