Mule Gala 2019 set
TUO 497 is passed by AFJ 727T at Axminster Station, on the evening of the second and final day of the Mule Gala.
1st Sep 2019
I understand the bus station at Salisbury ...was it called Endless Street? ...is no more, having been closed, if not redeveloped. In happier times I enjoyed a few vending machine coffees and cheese rolls in the staff canteen down there on the right. Hants & Dorset no. 836 (but new to Wilts & Dorset), a dual-purpose MW6G loads up for Marlborough on Friday 23rd January 1976. The NBC poppy red appears to have faded to a kind of carmine pink. I had a red Sierra that did the same thing. Two green Bristol Omnibus Co. vehicles on the left. As far as I remember Bristol operated into Salisbury at this time only on the service from Bath. Was there another?
In 1975 the NBC trialled five of the new Volvo Ailsa B55 chassis with Alexander of Falkirk bodywork - these were quite a departure for the nationalised operator. The vehicles went to the fleet of the subidiary Maidstone & District and here is 5382, LKP 382P seen in the depot and in full NBC livery. It must be quite new as it still carries the adverts proclaiming it as the British Ailsa bus.
The vehicle ended up having quite a career - passing in time to independent's Skills of Nottingham by 1983 where it lasted two years before heading back off north of the Border to the land of its birth and service with A1 of Ardrossan. It then moved south again to Leeds and to Black Prince who had something of a fleet of these early Ailsas. I recall similar vehicles both from West Midlands where a substantial number operated from garages such as Oldbury (and made the old BMMO D9s seem very staid!) and latterly from Eastern Scottish who had a number primarily based at their then Musselburgh depot.

In amongst the vehicles awaiting disposal in the Western National Devon General Garage yard at Torquay on 11th September 1985 was this NBC Devon General branded tanker NMT759E.
