ANOTHER BERE REGIS GALLERY

SOME MORE BERE REGIS PICTURES

Another selection of their coaches from Malcolm Knight

Bedford SB VOR160 at Blandford depot - it was one of the vehicles I came across in my 1971 journeyings described in 'Passenger with Pearce'. It was working the Frampton - Dorchester route on the day I rode on it.

Bedford Minibus FJT452D

Bedford 4506UB at Dorchester Council Yard

CBU52C at the Council Yard in Trinity Street, Dorchester. One of three Bedford SB5 / Duple 41-seaters bought new in 1965; the other two were CBU51C and CBU53C. The vehicle to the right is probably House of Hilton's Bedford OB LTA904.

A line up of four Bere Regis vehicles resting between duties. From the left UFX567, one of two AEC 51-seaters new to Bere Regis in 1963 (the other was UFX568); then follow 4761AC, UFR123 and OBA776.

Two Bere Regis vehicles picking up at Dorchester Museum, 4761AC leads an unidentified coach.

780TTE, a Ford / Plaxton 41-seater that was new to Travis of Droylsden in 1961.

MTK328, a Bedford / Plaxton 41-seater, new to Bere Regis in 1961. Colin Hallett remembers it boiling up at Sherborne one day in 1981.

VHO443 parked somewhere, somewhen . . .

JP8147, seen in November 1964. A 1950 AEC with a Duple body. Bere Regis had several similar vehicles, acquired I think through Lancashire Motor Traders with whom there was a close relationship. (photo by Ken Jubb)

The development of the Bere Regis & District bus service network from 1949 to 1979 is outlined here in a chart listing the routes.

A list of the operators acquired by Bere Regis & District over the years is here.
