Brighton's Coach Station in the sixties was right by the sea front and also served as the Southdown coach fleet depot in the town. Besides the staging point for the London services, it also housed visiting coaches from other company fleets like this MW6G, 12 (276ECY), from the then small United Welsh coach fleet.

 Former Eastern National 4206 (WNO484) was converted to open top in Essex and was numbered 2380. It passed to South Wales and was used in NBC red with a white relief brand and the reverse of that and branded "Skyrider". It is seen in United Welsh Tilling guise as 500 at the Barry Island Rally in June 2013. |
 Native Lodekka LD6G 323 (SWN159) is seen at the same event in Tilling red. |
 United Welsh was absorbed into South Wales in NBC days and became the trading name for the combined company's coaching unit. Added to this was the Brewers operation, when this company was acquired by NBC. From the Brewer's First fleet, 170 (K9BMS) & 173 (L8BMS), two Plaxton Premiere bodied Dennis Javelins rest at Windsor Coach Park. |
