Re: [Bournemouth Bus Station] Hants & Dorset Bus of fifties / sixtie   Message List

You definitely would have seen Bristol K's in H & D green livery in the late
50's and early 60's because I left Bournemouth in 1959 and they were still
running in full force then.

Wilts and Dorset was definitely in red and you would see the odd one each day
arrive at the bus station. I am afraid that I cannot help you on the dates
regarding H and D being absorbed into the W and D.

Hope this helps you clear your mind and sanity !! 8-)

Subject: [Bournemouth Bus Station] Hants & Dorset Bus of fifties / sixties


Am I right in thinking that I would have seen green liveried Bristol K
type buses in Hants & Dorset livery around the late 50's to mid 60's??
I need to know if I'm imagining it. I know they ran Bristol FLF's but
did they have K's in operation as well?? Also, would I have seen red coloured
H & D buses or is my memory playing more tricks??
Any help appreciated.

Hants & Dorset buses ran in green livery until after Wilts & Dorset was fully merged (c.1972). H&D had owner W&D since 1964. The red was apparently a goodwill...
