 With the Daimler plant in Coventry the Fleetline reigned supreme, this is a smart East Lancs bodied example in Pool Meadow, 85 ((YHP485J).
|
 No less than six Fleetlines and a CVG6 can be seen in this late seventies Pool Meadow shot. Departing on route 13 is East Lancs bodied 47 (KKV47G). Alongside on the left on route 7 is one of the first batch of Fleetline deliveries, Willowbrook bodied 360-381 (CRW360-381C), which controversly followed a batch of similarly bodied Leyland Atlanteans, 338-359 (CDU338-359B): failure to support the local manufacturer caused ructions in the Council chambers. On the far right si one of the East Lancs 1966 delivery.
|
 The magnificent Tudor Rose Inn forms the backdrop to this pair of Fleetlines. On the left is 71 (SWK71J) from th eone batch bodied by Park Royal in 1970, 59-76. It is passing one of the buses from the next year's batch which reverted to East Lancs: 77-94 (YHP477-494J).
|
 The final pair sum up the Coventry CVG6/Fleetline saga with ECW bodied 32 (KWK32F) - repainted from the livery seen earlier on 29 - and spritely looking 282 (XVC282) of 1959.
