Good News, Hull 9485 RH

The Good News depot wasn't good news on this day, at least for anyone like me wanting some decent pictures, so I made do with this old Volvo B58, which was at least unaffected by shadows.

This B58 had spent its whole life in Hull thus far, having been new to Halcyon Tours as JKH 609N in 1975, and coming to Good News in 1980. As things turned out, it only had one more year left here, and it passed to Yorkshire Tours across at Sheffield in 1989, for its last two years.

Its end may have come a little earlier, as it has clearly had a complete new front end, which may have been the result of an accident - it certainly did not have a Bristol dome fitted when new, but it did have a display box under the windscreen, which had been replaced by its Mk IV front panel.

9485 RH Plaxton Elite of Good News Travels, Hull

Photographed outside the depot of Good News Travels (Hunter), Hull in August 1985 was this Plaxton Elite coach which had been re-registered with local 9485 RH mark.
I'm not sure what chassis this was based on but possibly an early Volvo B58?
