5 may 2013 - Redhill, Surrey (UK) - Brighton Road. This bus was built in 1948 with a body by Beadle, but was lengthened and rebodied with a body from Eastern Coachworks in 1958. A BET company, Southern National were only permitted to buy buses from Bristol/ECW, so their fleet was quite standardised by this time. The bus remained in service until 1970 and was then used elsewhere until 1988, when it was preserved in its original colours.
