LOST INDEPENDENTS:ROSEMARY COACHES

Copyright ETCS.

Rosemary Coaches was bought out by First Eastern Counties during 1993, the fleet was made up of various Buses and coaches, some i must say not all in the best of conditions, 3 pictures here tonight illustrating three different decades, at the top we see Leyland Tiger/Burlington? VUP 742 which was new in 1957 to Summerson of West Auckland, pictured during 1973, part of the inherited fleet purchased by First was this 19 year old Bristol VR/ECW YHN 654M which had originated with United as 654 and given fleet number VR 502, the other VR 501 was an ex East Yorkshire example a year older. Finally an interesting coach and a rare one at that, here we see an Western Scottish Bristol REMH NAG 114G with Alexander M type body originally used on overnight services between London and Glasgow during the 1970's as 2208 and allocated to Dumfries depot.
