Baker, Yeovil DFP 184T - a photo on Flickriver

Baker, Yeovil DFP 184T

            I had a trip up to Yeovil on my first full day, partly so that I could gather up some timetables for the area, so that I could plan further trips around - it was hard work just trying to find information in those days ! 

On my way into the town, I spotted Barry Baker's depot, so I made a quick visit there, and found his Bedford / Unicar GT80 parked outside the garage. The fleet had been made up entirely of Bedfords from the start, with only a couple of recent Ford R-series breaking that run, and this was the first 'foreign body' to arrive here. 

It had been new to Brewer's Happy Wanderer Travel of Byfleet, Surrey, a small and fairly anonymous operator who in 1979 went out and bought seven brand new coaches ! All were Bedford YMTs, three with Van Hool McArdle bodies, but the other four were Unicar GT80s, among the very first of their type to enter service. Perhaps not surprisingly, within two years, they had closed down ! Baker's ran it from 1981 to 1986, and shortly after it went over to Ireland for its last few years.
