LMS Buses - D706YHK
One of the last buses to leave Eastern Coach Works before it closed its doors, this Leyland Olympian was part of the last batch purchased by London Buses in 1987.
New as L260 and carrying the registration D260FYM, it quickly gained the mark VLT20 from AEC Routemaster RM20, no doubt helped by the fact it was fitted with coach seats and a tachograph for private hire.
It initially operated with a green band, and was branded 'Bounty Bus' for a service to the Cutty Sark at Greenwich and was sponsored by Heineken. It later became part of Selkent's private hire fleet with a white band and large blue 'SELKENT TRAVEL' names.
It lost its RM registration upon sale and gained D706YHK as seen here.
