EASTERN COUNTIES SECOND LIVES

As i enjoyed searching for the second lives of Ipswich Buses i bring you part two in the feature where we now look at the lives of buses after Eastern Counties many were snapped up Jordan's at Coltishall where some where bought by other operators. First up is RLE 873 XAH 873H which passed to Cambus in 1984 although it did spend some time in Ipswich in 1975, this one passed to Northern Bus in Sheffield
One from my own collection now is former Eastern Counties Bedford CB 661 NAH 661F which had rather small lifespan before being sold off after around 8 to 9 years, it's seen here with Primrose Valley in the East Yorkshire area area during the late 1970's
Many of Eastern Counties later Bristol FLF'S were swapped with Bristol VR's from the Scottish Bus Group Companies during 1973, seen here approx 1980/81 is KPW 485F with Eastern Scottish in Edinburgh.
Another bus which joined Cambus in 1984 but went on to serve with Moxon's Tours of Worksop was ex VR 233 DNG 233T
Apologises for this last one which didn't scan too well is Bristol K GVF 74 formerly LKH 74 which managed about a year with Canhams in Whittlesey during the 1960's.
