Former Weymann bodied Daimler CVD6 112 (UMR112) has been preserved by the Swindon
Vintage Omnibus Society for many years now. It is seen in 2000 at the Southsea
Spectacular.

Thamesdown have kept their last half cab doubledecker in pristine condition. Daimler CVG6/30 145 (JAM145E) is seen at Southsea the following year. Its handsome bodywork is by Northern Counties. |
Ipswich's first motor buses were AEC Regent IIIs with Park Royal bodywork in 1950. Up until then the town was served by trolleybuses. 24 (EPV24) was the last Regent III delivered in 1956. At the time both companies are in the throws of celebrating their centenaries (Ipswich first) it is seen at Southsea in 2003 alongside Swindon's preserved Daimler CVD6, 112 (UMR112). |
In the eighties Thamesdown standardised on Dennis Dominators and bought
several with Northern Counties bodywork, including 67 (B67BMR), seen here at
the depot which adjoins the Bus Station.

Thamesdown acquired East Staffs District Councils Dennis Dominators which had
East Lancs bodies. One is seen poking out of the depot as a Stagecoach
Swindown Alexander ALX200 bodied Dennis Dart heads out on service.
