A posed line up of Motts early doubledeck contract fleet. The Alexander bodied decker on the left is thought to be an Atlantean from a Scottish independent (Graham's of Paisley?). Alongside is the pre-Yellow Bus London DMS, then a long surviving fleet member, ex West Midlands and finally, former a Reading "Jumbo" - a Northern Counties bodied Bristol VRTLL6G. |
Two views of Motts ex WMPTE/Coventry Daimler Fleetline with ECW bodywork. The flat fronted Fleetline body was adpated from that used on the Bristol VR in countless numbers by ECW. Probably uniquely the two ECW bodies could be seen together at Stokenchurch for a while when Bee-Line VRTSL6G 902 (SRX945G), on the service run to High Wycombe for morning schools, met "KWK" on a private contract to Icknield School in Watlington. In years to come Motts Yellow Bus subsidiary took over the Bee-Line school run too. |
The Fleetline was new to Coventry. |
The Metrobus has been popular in the Motts fleet since the South Yorkshire fleet bought for their Yellow Bus operations. Following on from the coach seated East Kent examples, in 2006 ex Travel West Midlands 2991 (F991XOE) arrived. It is seen here on school duties in Aylesbury in the summer of that year. |
