Some vehicles of ceased operators in the area. Major fleets to disappear have been Horseshoe, Taylors and Ementon, with Seamarks (no relation) and Buffalo both taken over by Dunn Line. Palmers and Tourmaster both went to L&D
Smaller one man fleets included Costin Tilsworth Concept Coaches and David Litchfield of Stevington, who only had 2 coaches in almost 20 years, as well as my old school bus operator Satellite of Ampthill.
