Beeston’s Coaches E303 FMV in Bury St. Edmunds – 9 Sep 1994

Friday 9 September 1994 – The bus version of the Van Hool Alizee wasn’t very common at all in Britain. Beeston’s Coaches E303 FMV, on Scania N112DRB chassis, was seen on Angel Hill in Bury St. Edmunds working the 1630 service to Sudbury. It had been new in July 1988 to an operator near Gatwick Airport (Terminus of Crawley), I suspect for some kind of airport work as at the end of the red line on both sides and the rear panel of the bus there is an aircraft featured. The legal address on the vehicle was ‘Beeston’s, Long Melford, Sudbury, Suffolk’ which was the former Theobald’s Coaches base, an old established family business taken over by Beeston’s.
