This is Bristol Lodekka with Eastern Coach Works of Lowestoft bodywork. The fleetname in the stale of the nationalised National Bus Company would date this photograph as being in the mid to late 1970’s or early possibly very early1980’s, although most of the rear entrance examples of this 1950’s classic had been withdrawn by then.
Whilst the leaf green and poppy red liveries of the National Bus Company may have seem stale compared with the variety seen before and after the demise of that organisation, I did mean to type “style” not “stale”!
