Ware Road, Hertford

Looking along the A119 towards the Police Station from near to the junction with Fairfax Road. The houses along the south side of the road are set back with long front gardens and raised above street level. A London Country AEC Reliance with Park Royal body makes its way into Hertford on the 337 service from Buntingford via Standon, Puckeridge Wadesmill and Ware. This class of vehicles, the RP's, were introduced in 1972 to replace Routemaster coaches on London Country's Green Line express routes. But by 1979 when this photo was taken they were being displaced by coach bodied reliances like the one seen in the distance. This particular vehicle - RP31 - is quite rare as it was one of only three of the 90 strong type to be repainted in National Bus Company bus livery.
