London Bus and Kingston Upon Hull are both doing up ancient buses.
Four stalwarts at London United's Fulwell Garage have bought a 1966 Bristol FLF — a former Eastern Counties vehicle which was based at Ipswich and Cambridge. The bus still has its original fleet number of FLF 459, and is being repainted in its original red livery. Up at Hull months of dedicated work have restored a AEC Regal Mark III singledecker which was retired from active service in 1970. Now back in full working order, the veteran could soon be paying for itself again: KHCT hopes to rent it out to film makers, weddings and conferences.
