WEDNESDAY FLASHBACK: CONTRASTING COUNTIES LIVERIES

 Two rather interesting slides for today's flashback, one is particularly interesting and that is the inside of the lost Felixstowe Depot looking rather full at the front in July 1981 is VR 189 RPW 189R which was originally to be a Lowestoft Corporation bus but was purchased by Eastern Counties upon their takeover, note how the windscreen wipers are on the top, while the rest of the fleet were on the bottom to the left is RLE 745 GCL 347N which a few years later in 1984 went with the rest of the batch to Cambus with the split of the company in 1984. Above is VR 258 RAH 258W in 1988, at the Railway Station when Felixstowe buses actually went there, already the recently introduced Post Office red livery is looking rather scruffy which was usually the case when adverts were taken off.
