Yelloway TDK 689J in Victoria Coach Station, London - 26 Jan 1973

Friday 26 January 1973 - Yelloway TDK 689J, a 1971 Plaxton Panorama bodied AEC Reliance, seen at Victoria Coach Station in London during the turnround period between the southbound and northbound trips of the Alfreton-Derby-London 'Derbyshire Express' service MX4. Yelloway worked this service jointly with Trent, Midland General and United Counties and due to this fact was the only way Yelloway gained entry into Victoria Coach Station. When it was Yelloway's turn to cover the service a coach would be despatched from Rochdale for about 5 or 6 days. Each day it would work the round trip from Alfreton to London (Victoria) and back spending each overnight at the Midland General garage in Alfreton where it was fuelled and cleaned.
