 Not a prominent member, but nonetheless a founder member of Associated Motorways, United Counties played its part in maintaining the express network in the country before the days of National Express. Black & White's Cheltenham Coach Station was the major provincial hub of the network and the 1400h departure was always a site to behold, even in the early days of National Express. This late sixties view shows several Plaxton Panorama bodied Leyland Leopards of Black & White, 1602 (EFE446E), a Duple Viceroy bodied Bedford VAM14 of Lincolnshire, and down the end, alongside a departing Bristol MW of Bristol Greyhound, one of United Counties 1966 MW coaches like 261 above. |
Brostol RELL6G 315 (RBD315G) is seen when new on layover outside the now closed Aylesbury depot. The bus spent many years at Aylesbury, whilst it is no longer there the depot was subsequently used as a car park. The bus fleet - now part of Arriva the Shires - has moved to an industrial estate unit on the northern edge of town (Smeaton Close, Rabans Lane).

 This picture of United Counties Lodekkas and officials was found in a collection of photos in the Red Rover offices which used to be next door to the United Counties Aylesbury depot. |
 Alongside a Royal Blue RELH6G in NBC dual purpose livery is Bristol VRTSL6G 757 (UBD757H) which spent a number of years painted in Wellingborough Motor Omnibus Company livery. It is seen at Millennium Showbus. |
