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...
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...
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...

Fun and games huh !! I don't recall that happening when I grew up in Bournemouth as the boundaries were clearly defined between H and D and Bournemouth...
Very different from the days when many H&D buses along Christchurch Road used to have a board reading "Not on service for Bournemouth Corporation passengers"...
