An Aldershot & District Bus at the Aldershot Bus Depot
Image: © David Hillas Taken: 6 Jun 1981
Taken in June 1981, this photo shows an Alder Valley bus 611 (GGM 81W) painted in the livery of the Aldershot & District Traction Co Ltd with the wording "75 Years of service" painted on the nearside between the upper and lower decks. That bus operator began services in May 1906, but was merged with the Thames Valley Traction Co Ltd on the 1st January 1972 to form Alder Valley. The bus, new in 1980, is a Bristol VRT/SL powered with a Gardner 6LXB engine and has Eastern Coachworks 74-seater bodywork. It is pictured on an Open Day at the Alder Valley bus depot in Halimote Road. This depot closed in the early 1990s and housing now occupies the site.
