A line up of Bristol VRs at SHOWBUS international 2005 adjacent to Concorde headed by former Eastern National 3219 (VTH941T), originally South Wales 941. We then have former Eastern Counties VR190 (VPW85S) ordered by Waveney District Council for its then Lowestoft fleet and displayed in Konect blue, two NBC red VRs for Trent and the associated Midland General fleet and finally former Alder Valley 981 (CJH121V) now with Flagfinders of Braintree. |

Several Bristol VRs in East Midlands Worksop depot. ECW bodied 102 (RTH924S) was originally South Wales 924. More interesting is the unidentified highbridge VR to the left. |

Former VRTSL3 987 (ECY987V) had fallen on hard times when seen stored at the Winkleigh facility in August 2013. It may still have been owned by Chepstow Buses with whom it spent some years from 2000 and its eventful life included several occasions working Glastonbury Festival shuttles. Picture ref A048 |

Former South Wales 241 (RWN241M) was a Ford R1014 with Willowbrook 45 seat body. One of a batch of ten (238-247) lightweight buses bought in bulk by National bus for some of its less fortunate subsidiaries. It ended up in Scotland and was photographed by Joyce Isles. It has been repainted since it left South Wales. |

Another of the batch looks as though it may have been withdrawn. Curiously numbered 73 and minus any blinds its situation at the time is a mystery.
