Southdown Out of Green & Cream

Southdown Motor Services, the well-known and respected bus and coach operator based on the south coast, ran buses and coaches in a delightful green and cream livery that is still fondly remembered today. Here, Simon Stanford looks at Southdown from the sixties up to their purchase by Stagecoach in 1989, with a variety of different brandings on show, exhibiting a variety of rare looks for the companys fleet. With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Stanfords collection of images is both nostalgic and enlightening and will appeal to any fan of Southdown buses or the history of independent British buses.
