| Another of the A--HRR 'select' registration marks used by H R Richmond (trading as Epsom Coaches) was A8HRR, which was applied to a Toyota Corolla car by 2005. When photographed at Wallington Station on 3rd July 2007, it was no doubt being used as a crew ferry for the Epsom Buses operation, although it was lettered for Epsom Coaches. Note that the car also has a 3-digit fleetnumber (301), displayed in the front and rear windscreens. No other Epsom service vehicles had numbers of this sort, as far as we know. The A8HRR plates had been removed from this car by March 2009, though they were to reappear a few months later on a Ford Transit minibus used as a crew rest room normally to be found at Banstead. A similar vehicle was usually parked at Wallington, this becoming A9HRR. Epsom Buses was later acquired by RATP and was gradually integrated into the London United operation. Most of the A--HRR marks are now defunct, apart from A8HRR now with a new owner on a BMW car. |
