A contrast in styles at Colchester Bus Station with a secondhand purchase from Newcastle with lots of curved glass on the Alexander bodied bus passing the much more conservative looking Eastern Coach Works version that was new to the Corporation and built not too far away at Lowestoft. Although both Leyland Atlanteans were of a similar age dating from about 1976-7 Alexander had been building similar attractive modern panoramic looking buses since as far back as1963 but many enthusiasts still prefer the more solid and traditional looking Suffolk built bus which I must admit certainly looked good in Colchester's distinctive brown and cream colours.
