| A poor photograph in technical terms, but the
subject matter justifies its inclusion. The location is Boston's Market Place in 1975. Prior to the opening of the bus station in 1976, this was the starting and terminating point for most LRCC services in the town. The vehicle in front, 2488 (OVL 497), a Bristol SC4LK / ECW, new to the LRCC in 1961, awaits departure on the 58B town service to the Woad Farm Estate. If not the last of its type at Boston, it was certainly amongst the last. The vehicle itself was withdrawn in 1978 and ended its days being used as a seat store by an operator in Appleby. The Bristol LH behind it was comparatively new and, as is demonstrated here, Lodekkas still formed an integral part of the double-deck fleet. |
