Yelloway 7076 DK - Sep 1972 (2)

September 1972 - Square photos and rectangular vehicles don’t mix too well! A side view of Yelloway 7076 DK seen on the parking ground along Penn Street, Rochdale. The Harrington Cavalier body was the last type to incorporate the two side destination indicators which Yelloway had specified for its new coaches for many years. Plaxton bodywork was bought after Harrington closed down and the rooflines of the newer models were not deep enough to accommodate this feature. By tapering the lettering on the indicator blinds two towns could sometimes be featured. In this case the forward blind shows ‘Via Stafford Newcastle’ and the other shows ‘and Leek Stockport’.
