Ex Crosville Bristol LWL6B has ended up as a staff bus for Brennan and Murphy (contractors) of Birmingham. Eddie Stobart is not alone in naming vehicles, beautifully sign written, MFM 684 is called 'Rosita', given the hard life Rosita was leading her condition was good, in this 1965 shot she is parked on site in deepest Warwickshire The bus has an ECW FC35F body and was new to Crosville in May 1951 being KW253 in their fleet..

I can't remember if we got it moved out, or if it just turned up at the yard, but we got the depot Bristol MW towbus in the last few minutes of daylight. New as coach CMG341, and later demoted to a bus, it was 20 years old when it was converted, and did nearly as long in that state, being sold for preservation in 1997, by which time it had become TFF 251. I think I saw and photographed more MWs like this than I ever did as complete vehicles in service, as they were largely extinct by this time, even with second or third owners, but they were very popular as towing vehicles over many years.
