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 company’s fleet.
With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Stanford’s collection of images is both nostalgic and enlightening and will appeal to any fan of Southdown buses or the history of independent British buses.
Simon Stanford has been a bus and coach enthusiast since his days as a child accompanying his father on excursions around Sussex. Nearly forty years later and he is still a part of the industry and enjoys sharing his memories and photographs. He also started collecting model buses and coaches in the mid-eighties when EFE produced their first Harrington coach in Southdown Livery. His collection has grown to around a thousand, most still in their boxes, and he also runs TauntonModelWorld.com.
