Bristol. It left Gloucester in October 1965 and was one

Pictured on 10 April 1962, 1950
vintage MHW 986 carried the Gloucester fleet number 2475
after renumbering from C2759 in the Bristol City fleet in
April 1953. It was
delivered new as a dual-door vehicle but was modified as
a front entrance one-man operated bus in March 1958. Cheltenham
became its operating base from April 1959 until
withdrawal in July 1963. Seen in the background here is
the famous Bon Marche store in Kings Square - still in
existence in 2005 as Debenhams. |
