Thanks Phil,

IIRC, Bournemouth's Roadliners also had Willowbrook bodies.

NGT's Fleetlines had Willowbrook, Alexander W type and (the ex-Maidstone &
District ones) Marshall bodies. I've also a feeling that the very first SRGs for
Grimsby-Cleethorpes and Halifax were Willowbrook, as were batches for South
Shields (delivered to Tyneside PTE) and Derby.
