Booth and Fisher bus at Dronfield -1978 Booth and Fisher was a family bus business operating out of Halfway near Sheffield. By this time it had already been sold (in 1975) to the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, as indicated by the 4-digit fleet number, although it was some time before all vehicles were repainted into SYPTE brown and cream livery.

TCY662 was bought second hand from South Wales Transport in 1972, and is an AEC Reliance with Marshall bodywork, new in 1962.

This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761">Link</a>
