Former South Midland Leyland Tiger PS1/1 38 (LWL995) was rebodied with an ECW Queen Mary style of body and transferred to the Newbury & District fleet as 169 in 1950 shortly after both fleets had passed to Thames Valley's control. The Tiger chassis ws lengthened in the rebodying process and the vehicle sat 37, though this was later reduced to 34. The origin of the photo is unknown, but is believed to be an official company shot. |
1950 Guy Arab 170 (FMO515) was delivered to N&D in the year that Thames Valley
took charge. It is seen at Newbury still inn the mid sixties sporting its
typical "Red & White" style lowbridge Duple doubledeck body.
|
More of a problem for Thames Valley were a number of highbridge Arab/Duples
of which H10 (FMO517) is one, also seen at Newbury Wharf. Unfortunately light got
into the camera, so the image has been digitally rendered in the top left corner.

Former Newbury 138 (FMO327) was delivered new in 1947 as part of a small batch of AEC Regal Is with Duple bus bodies. It is seen at Newbury Wharf with other ex N&D buses and a typical Thames Valley Bristol L with ECW bus body. The picture is of unknown origin. |
