RMweb Gold 46444 Posted April 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi, Recently I've acquired the EFE version of one of these buses: http://www.modelbuszone.co.uk/efe/sd/163/16301.html It does not have a numberplate however. Does anyone know the registration numbers for these United Bristol LS's. Also would anyone happen to know of route numbers they may have worked on around the Darlington/Cleveland area? Thanks in advance. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

£1.38 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 This site has lots of information, including fleet numbers and registration numbers. There are photos of some vehicles, but they seem difficult to find. http://www.bristolsu.co.uk/ls/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed there was still one of Ruswarp bank the other week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed there was still one of Ruswarp bank the other week The one at the bottom of Ruswarp bank is a modern reproduction enamel United sign, I'll have to have a look for them on Lythe bank, I know there were TEES ones up well into the Arriva period.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted April 4, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2017 I suppose the Tees ones were for the remaining LHs as these had manual boxes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
