Details: An open day was held at the Epsom Buses garage in Epsom on 20th June 2015, to mark the 95th anniversary of the company. Many of the exhibits were similar to those at the 90th anniversary event in 2010 but on the whole it was an excellent day, with a great deal of effort put in to making it fun and interesting (something that I felt was lacking in some of the YotB open days in 2014). From a service vehicle point of view, this pair was quite interesting. Both carried 'Epsom Coaches Group, Facilities Management' lettering, while the sweeper also had the 'Quality Line' branding. Nearest is J542ONR, a JCB fork-lift truck, beyond is SN03OHC, an Applied Sweepers 525 'Green Machine' sweeper. Although both registered, neither vehicle is currently licensed. In the background is the 'Jungle Bus', former Centrewest Volvo Olympian V8, which my daughter says was great fun!

Thomas YoungThe fork-lift truck did indeed have a registration on the back (J542ONR) and it is a JCB, although it has not been road licensed since 2011. The database links have been updated.Mon 29/06/15, 13:14
Clive GThat forklift is great - being of tractor configuration it makes me wish LT could have had a second generation of Fordson tractors like it!Mon 29/06/15, 12:58
