This view of Swindon's old bus station shows an interesting mix of vehicles. Most are with Bristol Omnibus, including the FLF Lodekka on stand. A rear entrance Wilts & Dorset Lodekka is foremost, but two of Swindon Corporation's buses stand out in blue and cream. The further bus is a Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline, but nearer is a Daimler CVG6 with very upright rear bodywork by Weymann or Roe.
