ALDER VALLEY . Weymann Leyland Leopard 1142 EUF142D . Woking Garage

            Alder Valley had 4 Southdown Leopards - (EUF140D , EUF141D , EUF142D and EUF145D ) on loan for a few months in 1978.
I don't know much about it, but they were all painted poppy red, although they didn't stay for long - (so I guess they were either intended to be kept for longer, or it's just another example of money being thrown away).
They mostly seemed to work out of Reading garage, but on a Sunday at the end of June, 1142 is parked on the forecourt of Woking garage, along with Woking's AEC Reliance coach no. 45 (FHO535D).
The bookings office is behind them.
1142 seemed to be the only one to lose Southdown's V shaped body moulding on the front, and the fleetnames were oddly positioned on the sides, instead of above the windows.
I'm not sure whether she worked from here at all, or not ???
