Cambus 713 (TEX 405R) in Peterborough - 15 Jul 1989

Saturday 15 July 1989 – Cambus 713 (TEX 405R) seen in Peterborough bus station.
In September 1984 the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company, a National Bus Company subsidiary, was split up. ECOC itself retained the operations in Norfolk and Suffolk whilst the western part, covering Cambridgeshire and the Newmarket and Haverhill areas on the edge of West Suffolk, passed to a newly created Cambus Limited.
TEX 405R, an Eastern Coachworks bodied Bristol VR, became Cambus 713 having been new as ECOC VR195 in May 1977. For quite some time this bus was based at ECOC’s Mildenhall outstation but found its way to becoming a Haverhill outstation bus before the split occurred. As a result of this move its presence in the new Cambus operating area it became a candidate for transfer to the new Cambus company at the formation.
