Deregulation - Roseway Leopard - a photo on Flickriver

Deregulation - Roseway Leopard

            26th October 2011 is the 25th Anniversary of the deregulation of bus services in mainland Britain outside London and during the coming month I will try and illustrate some of the more unusual operation that came out of deregulation.
However to start with I thought it would be an idea to include my first picture of a deregulated bus service taken on 27th October 1986 in Boxley Kent on my way to work ( I didn't take any one 26th as I spent all day at the Classic Car Show in the Metropole Hotel Brighton).
RPR753K was a Plaxton bodied Leopard new to Rendell of Parkstone Dorset and was operating for Roseway Travel of Walderslade on the 130 service from Gillingham to Maidstone and was carrying a good load on this Kent County Council tendered service. Roseway operated a number of services in the Medway Towns and I seem to remember them being subject to regular changes.
