We asked AI to imagine a "virtual restoration" of WCG 103, and it doesn't look half bad!

It’s Thursday, so let's take a trip down memory lane! 📷 Today we’re looking back at a time when we didn’t have just one, but two Leyland Tiger Cubs. Many of you might remember WCG 103! 📷Melvyn Lovelock

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Paul Jenkins, Secretary of the Devon General Omnibus Trust, as our guest speaker. Paul gave a fascinating presentation on the history of Devon General and some of the work being done to preserve its legacy. 📷David Ledbury

The bus that traded places! 🚌🇬🇧✈️🇺🇸 In 1993, we sent this Leyland Titan (RVS 432\TBC 162) to the USA in a swap to bring POU 494 back to the UK. It’s now been spotted in Louisville, Kentucky as an open-topper with upside-down windows! 🙃

When 326 finally came home to us, it was painted blue and the seats were badly worn. Following a dedicated restoration, including a return to our iconic King Alfred green, it is now the only roadworthy Harrington Crusader coach in existence. 🌟

While 326 later served with the Totton Girls’ Brigade, both vehicles represent a classic era of our local transport history.

Originally one of a trio of SB3s bought new by King Alfred Motor Services (alongside 325 and 327 CAA), 326 had quite the journey! Like its sister coaches, it was sold to O. Porter’s of Dummer. We’ve included a photo of 327 CAA here to show them together in spirit.

Throwback Thursday: A milestone moment for FoKAB! 🚌 Meet 326 CAA, our 1961 Bedford SB3. This coach holds a special place in our history as the very first vehicle acquired by the Friends of King Alfred Buses, joining us in 1986, just one year after we formed.
