WEDNESDAY FLASHBACK INVOLVING THE FLEET NUMBER 123

As there is not an awful lot of news going around at the moment, I thought I would start an occasional series based around my total page views as I'm just about to hit 123,000 so I'm featuring buses with the number 123, first up is one from Stuart Ray's collection of East Lancs Dennis Falcon 123 in the early 1990's at the Woodbridge Road Roundabout in the company of sister company Lag/DAF Panoramic E643 LNV of Ipswich Travel now that's a story all by itself, created by the acquisition of Bantam Coaches and the joint buy of Bicker's back in 1989.

Well this is a sort of 123 as this was it's number pre First national renumbering back in 2004, taken by Ipswich Busman Leon Wells whilst he was on loan there this was an acquired bus back in August 1999 from First Beeline, although the awful Barbie 2 fadeout livery didn't quite fit these lovely Leyland Olympians with Alexander bodies, now the FEC Anglia Yellow and Red, here it shows it's national number of 34956 shame none made there way into preservation, although a Northern Counties one has, i was going to feature LFS 123 but to no avail.
