| 'Bedfords - You see them Everywhere!' So ran the advertising slogan and obviously true here. Nearest the camera is a WTB 14-seater with a body produced by Waveney of Outon Broad, Lowestoft and new in 1931. This was the first bus produced by General Motors under the Bedford name - which was a follow-on of the American produced Chevrolet LQ; the oldest vehicle in Richardson's fleet still seeing occasional use in 1950, and seen here posing alongside its younger stablemates, is the WTB/Duple Coach, dating from 1936 and the recently delivered 1950 OB Duple MK IV Service Bus.
