10C an ex Premier Travel AEC with Harrington
Cavalier body was used on the 90 minute
excursions of the Peterborough and Stamford area.
It is seen here before operating the 1405 trip.
In the view of the writer who travelled on it,
this vehicle in terms of standard of ride and
comfort was better than some modern coaches !

riding upstairs on the left had to duck on
occasions to avoid being clouted by tree branches
