Stagecoach United Counties 625 (F625 MSL) in Northampton – 22 Oct 1989 (102-12)

Thursday 22 October 1989 - The Stagecoach Group acquired the United Counties Omnibus Company in 1987 in the privatisation of the National Bus Company and many traditional NBC procured vehicles came with the purchase.

The group purchased the Alexander R type bodied Leyland (later Volvo) Olympian for most of its double deck requirements so the type was found countrywide.

625 (F625 MSL), new in August 1988, is seen in The Drapery in Northampton working the ‘Great Eastern Line 51’ cross town service linking New Duston and Blackthorn.
