Thanks for the excellent photo and the information.. Allan ----- Original Message ----- From: Barrie Gilbert To: Welsh Bus Photographs Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 7:32 PM Subject: Bebb B47 DNY
Bebb's first National Express liveried coach was B47 DNY, one of a batch of eight 53-seat Duple Laser-bodied Bedford YNTs delivered in 1985. Service 783 between Cardiff and Ipswich was a cross country route via Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Befordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Bebb's big step into National Express work came in April 1987, when a base was established in Bournemouth to operate cross country routes between Bournemouth and Inverness and between Poole and Halifax. These kicked off with Setras D701-4 NUH, which initially retained fleet livery. This operation lasted a few years, and the Scottish route was certainly with Excelsior of Bournemouth by Autumn 1994. National Express operations from Cardiff began in a big way in April 1991 as a result of National Welsh's difficulties. Tellings Golden Miller operated the Cardiff to London diagrams at the time, whilst Bebb operated the services from Cardiff to Birmingham and West Yorkshire and to Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, employing the H- PDW batch of Setras and Plaxton Expressliner-bodied Volvos H68/9 PDW and H71/2 PWO. And in May 2011, under a new name, it all ended. (c) Barrie Gilbert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Welsh Bus Photographs" group.
