Taken during 1986 we see withdrawn Eastern Counties Bristol RE RL 875 YAH 875J along with sister RL 872 towards the rear of the Bury St Edmunds Cotton Lane depot, RL 875 for many a year was Ipswich Allocated passing to Cambridge for a spell ,this would of been around February /March time, as allocation sheets of the time show it listed in January but not in April, above you can see it when brand new in a proper Tillings Cream/Maroon so much better than the bland NBC Poppy Red. Travelling forward a bit in time to the early 1990's and we see Eastern Counties LN 782 DPW 782T in an all over advert for another long last company Connells Home Improvements, note that 16 was still being carried for the service to Woodbridge/Bawdsey an ex Bickers service number this would later became the 71.
