bus pic

[edit]

Now my elder brother owned that bus, AN121, it was sold off when they made new buses in Stevenage so he bought it for I think about a thousand pounds, not sure. My family spent many happy days out on the bus with my brother driving and us all having a picnic in the back and so on, it did not go very fast but had plenty of room, to him it literally was a Busman's holiday. Plenty of room in a bus for all the family to go for a day out for a picnic, mind the stairs ting ting.

We went on a day trip to Quainton Road and he he displayed it there, at the Buckinghamshire something or other vintage centre, and this is where this picture was taken. Now he has children and hasn't the time to go gallivanting around the countryside in a double-decker. But we had such fun days on this bus. I don't on Wikipedia want to name names, but his mate D would also come along and help us out, not a lover or anything, just a good friend of the family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.165.200.193 (talk) 03:55, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think he sold it to some Glasgow operation actually to be put back into service, but you would have to ask him that, but was sold to Strathclyde Buses or somesuch and put back into service....the plate is not the original plate, which would be AN 121 YOK, the O in the middle is Crawley vehicle registration as was. In UK number plates there is a geographical designation but you have to be clever to work out. O in the middle three is alway Purley, Crawley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.165.200.193 (talk) 04:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting proposal

[edit]

I propose that the County Bus and Sovereign Bus & Coach sections of this article be split into their own respective articles, which currently serve as redirects to this article. Per a similar rationale that led to the renaming of London Country South East to Kentish Bus, LCNE only existed from 1986 until the splitting to County and Sovereign in 1989, and the content of the split companies' sections far outweigh the length and level of sourcing of the main LCNE operation. I don't see why the successor companies therefore have to be merged under this article, especially when they have their own infoboxes. Hullian111 (talk) 11:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
