Javelins L18SLT and FN02HGY with recent arrival Volvo FP51EUN

Smiths Coaches Visit

Joe Leathers-Watson paid a visit to the Blofield depot of Smith's Coaches during yesterday afternoon and found most of the fleet on site

Seen at the front of the yard were Dennis Javelins L18SLT, FN02HGY and recent arrival

Also observed was Plaxton Paragon bodied Volvo B10M 333SXU (previously Y152EAY), Toyota Coaster BV55UES and Iveco Eurorider S1WDA.

The latest arrival, a Jonckheere in a slightly different Smiths livery, was parked right at the back of the other coaches so no picture could be taken

However, one of the chaps at the depot opened the garage so Joe could get a photo of the company's oldest vehicle - a Bedford YMT. New in December 1979 to Smith of Alcester, JKV412V joined the Blofield fleet in 1994

Also sitting in the garage was another Toyota Coaster, YAH434

My thanks to Joe Leathers-Watson for the report and photos and to the staff at Smiths Coaches for their assistance with this information
