ON HIRE TO EASTERN COUNTIES

 During 1974 Eastern Counties suffered from acute bus shortages primarily in the Norwich area, at it's peak in the July there was 21 off the road, 5 LFS, 36/46/77/80/82, 2 LFL 56/61, 6 LH 526/30/685/910/13/15, 3 LM 602/34/936, 3 VR 127/331/81, RL 734 and LS 782, the shortages carried onto the next year of 1975 when the summer saw 11 of the early VR's off the road.
Above now beautifully restored back to it's original Bartons livery is AEC Reliance/Plaxton Panorama 868 HAL all Beestons Coaches provided were driven by Eastern Counties drivers. Following that we see Daimler CVG6/Roe 13 FEX 113 on hire from Great Yarmouth Transport and finally at the bottom, Theobolds Bedford/Duple OGV 696M about to shoot off to Sheringham.

AND DON'T FORGET THIS TO TOMORROW
