Nearest the camera is 1960 Lodekka FLF6B 834 (UJB200). It was the first of the batch of FLF Lodekkas built for London express services with coach seating and unique sliding doors. In this view in the front Thorn Walk yard it is with a mixed bag of other Thames Valley vehicles. Next to it is one of the Duple Northern bodied RELH coaches used on the Reading Railair service, then one of the pair of dual purpose seated and liveried MW buses also from 1960 and finally a newer FLF. When photgraphed 834 had been relegated to more mundane work and had lost its subsequent liveries of Brighton, Hove & District style red and cream and South Midland colours to revert to Tilling Red, the colours it had when new. |

A poor quality photo in Thorn Walk depot of a newly painted Lodekka, one of the many acquired secondhand in the late sixties from other Tilling fleets.
