Mulleys of Ixworth received a couple of visits from a Shelton Motors towing vehicle earlier this week to remove two long withdrawn BMC Falcon 1100 single deckers.
The operator had three buses of the type with the first being YN54 VLE acquired from Cooper of Killamarsh in Derbyshire during October 2005. Pictured on St Andrews Street North in Bury St Edmunds on 12th January 2013, it was later withdrawn with parts being used to keep the other two in service.
The other two were purchased brand new in November 2005 with both AE55 NYL and AE55 NYM viewed in use also in Bury St Edmunds.
The former is seen on the same day on St Andrews Street whilst the latter is observed in almost the same position on 3rd July 2010. The third photo also shows an unidentified First Eastern Counties Dart behind at a time when the operator still had a presence in the town.
The final photo shows one of the last BMCs being readied in Mulley's yard for its last journey to the scrapyard on Wednesday and my thanks to Omar Atiallah for the photo.
