LOST INDEPENDENT OPERATORS

Now before you say anything this is an continuation of yesterdays theme but slightly different as it hark backs to the times when Suffolk had plenty of Independent operators now of course is a different story, first up is a classic London Bus Guy Special GS 56 MXX 56 at the beginning of the 1970's operating for Bickers who ceased trading when Eastern Counties and Ipswich Buses jointly bought them out in 1988 both of them acquiring the fleet which was split between them.

From what i can gather from the Scottish registration  SRS 132 a Bedford Bella Vega of Bluebird of Ipswich must of been purchased from an operator up north in the early 70's?

 Sayers was a company i remember from my childhood as i travelled on on of their coaches to Cornwall now here i need some help as i can't identify what the coach is, the only thing i can gather from the registration XUP 962 was that it originated in the Newcastle area. This photo again from around 1970.

To finish with this ex Ipswich AEC Regal No 12 BPV 12 by the 1970's was with the Ipswich Coach Company owned by David Boughton who has since operated under many different named companies perhaps someone can enlighten me.
