A chance to take a look back at Eastern Counties different types of Bristol LH the first one up is the first of the new style Bristol LH which was introduced at the Commercial Motor Show in 1972 and was the first bus in the new NBC Poppy Red livery and the last with a Perkins engine it was destined for a short career with Eastern Counties of nine years before becoming preserved and is now with John Appleton, Higham Ferrers.
Here we see late on in it's career with Eastern Counties is LH 903 XPW 903H a series one LH in 1980 suffering with a water leak problem inside Kings Lynn depot, by the following year it would be withdrawn.
To finish up with we see a collection of three of the last Bristol LH's which finished their days at Ipswich depot including dual purpose LH 930 WEX 930S and it's bus sister's LH 927/29 WEX 927/29S, LH 930 would be later painted in a deregulation livery of Grey/Orange/Cream which you would have to see it to believe it.
