Safeguard of Guilford - Bedford SB8 @ Farnham Rd. bus Stn. - Mar 1962

            An old amateur photograph (just 3" x 2") of a Safeguard of Guildford bus (registration 630SPH) at Farnham Road bus station, Guildford, on 10 Mar 1962.

The photo reverse has no photographer name, just the location and date.

630SPH comprised a Bedford SB8 chassis, a Duple Midland body seating 41 (B41F), and was new to Safeguard in Jan 1961. 

I think it then went from Safeguard to Banstead Coaches (May 1966?), then to Tony McCann of Forest Green, then to Browns of Forest Row. (Brown Motor Services?). I have no fleet lists covering this vehicle so the above could be totally wrong, and I have no details of its further use and scrappage. Any information/corrections would be greatly appreciated.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷  Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location.  📷
