Staff transport. - a photo on Flickriver

Staff transport.

            Another shot from an acquired collection with no know copyright. 
I believe this photo to have been taken in Chesterfield bus station and we see two buses belonging to Thornhill who I seem to recall were chicken processors. Back in what we think of as the good old days many a factory contracted in bus operators to run bespoke works services and in addition to that, a good number actually ran their own buses. The picture of course depicts the latter.
The leading bus, THV 606M,  was a Dormobile bodied Bedford VAS-3 which seated 31 and had been new to The Inner London Education Authority in 1974. I suspect that it never had actually been a PSV in its first life owing to the rather unusual additional offside entrance /exit which the Certifying Officer wouldn't have liked. Behind the VAS is an ex Trent Alexander bodied Leyland Tiger Cub YRC 182 of 1962 vintage. This bus by comparison with the Bedford was relatively local. It went on to live another life albeit re-registered, with travellers following service with Thornhills, but its registration  lived on latterly fitted to buses in the Trent / Barton fleet.
