 A third casualty to be absorbed into the East Thames fleet was Durham Travel Services, trading as Easylink. They bought a fleet of Volvo B7TLs with Plaxton President bodies, of which VP158 (X158FBB) was one, for route 185. Durham based drivers stayed locally to do a few days on the 185 before returning home to the north. The company's collapse left an embarrassing gap in services filled by a variety of operators until East Thames was able to obtain the buses to take over the route. |
