Royal Blue Coaches.

  • Photographed by John Ward of Weymouth.
  • I produced the card for Dorset Transport Circle.
  • The coach was first registered in 1953.
  • In service the coach travelled from Penzance to/from London three times a week averaging 98000 miles in a year
  • The roof luggage carrier was highly dangerous in cold wet weather [giving the nickname "camel humps"].
