 It was something of a surprise when Luton Corporation ordered initial batches of the ECW bodied Bristol RELL to replace some of its ageing fleet of doubledeckers of comparable passenger handling capacity. Perhaps they were already planning to sell out to neighbouring United Counties into whose fleet the vehicles would be standard fare anyway. This photo of one of the first batch not long after entering service. An elderly Luton decker can be seen at the rear. |
An unusual visitor to United Counties' Aylesbury depot was former Luton Corporation East Lancs bodied Albion Lowlander 167 (167EMJ). The bus itself was unusual in a former Tilling fleet and did not stay long, even though it had got repainted into United Counties green and cream as 827. The bus passed to Godfrey Abbot in Manchester and served there until 1978. Luton Corporation's fleet was acquired in 1970.
