Eastern Counties ex Clarkes Services Foden PVSC6 FS 998 JBJ 833 seen at what looks like Peterborough.
Many thanks to a colleague of mine at the ITM Bernard Simpson, for updating my piece yesterday on the services taken over from Clarkes Services, the following services were replacements for their routes.
238 Felixstowe Ferry,Wolsey Gardens,Felixtowe Dock
248 Dock,Sea Road to Brook Lane(Fludyers Hotel) every 30 mins Sea Front service with Open top bus, Summers only.
249 Manor Road,Walton Church(Circular)Every 30 mins
In 1930/1931 Eastern Counties extended services 201 and 204 to Felixstowe Docks from Manor Road not as i previously thought.
Originally new to Norwich Omnibus Company as 47 in 1933 a Bristol GJW/Weymann LG 4 VG 5541 ECOC had by this time had taken control of the company and was retained as a separate company until 12/35 all services were then operated on hire to Norwich Omnibus Company it was eventually absorbed in 1954, two buses LG 4 and LG 6 in 1950 became open toppers and were renumbered HLG 4/6 and withdrawn after the summer in 1960 when they became HLG 496/97.
