Yelloway CDK 855C Aug 1973 (1)

August 1973 – Yelloway CDK 855C parked in the garage at Weir Street, Rochdale. New in 1965 this was to be the final year that Harrington supplied their stately Cavalier body to Yelloway. The destination screen shows ‘Torquay’ but it is unlikely that this coach would have visited the Devon resort for a number of years even though it would have been more than capable of doing so. Each year the newer coaches were assigned as the service vehicles on the Torquay and London routes. Progressively as the coaches aged they were assigned to different routes, mid-life coaches covering Cheltenham etc and the oldest covering the Blackpool services and school work.
