Bristol KSW type bus, Kettering ? 1973
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 3 Mar 1973
This type of bus had been the mainstay of the nationalised Transport Holding Company subsidiaries through the 1950s, but had become a rarity by the early 1970s. United Counties 967, new in 1954, had only a few weeks more to run before withdrawal. It is seen here on Station Road outside the bus garage. The destination 'L M R Station' is a relic of the previous designation as 'L M S Station', but in fact there was only ever the one station in the town. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
