Yeoman's of Canon Pyon

In the overlapping questionable grey areas where in the Twenties and Thirties the large operators territories met and which had not been deemed financially worth fighting over one usually found a wealth of small operators plying their trade. Places like Hereford surrounded by countryside right in the corner of Midland Red's vast empire was a classic example and it boasted a number of well known small operators like Wye Valley Motors and as seen here G.H.Yeomans Motors. They were a lovely sight too in the early Sixties when they ran fine old interesting double-deckers and even new single-deck buses in a dark green and cream livery not dissimilar to another favourite Warstone's Green Bus. By the Eighties even though they were still a familiar sight in Hereford Bus Station the vehicles were a much more mundane collection of Duple and Plaxton bodied Bedfords. But that is no more as even though they retained their coach travel business they later sold their bus services to the privatised Midland Red West. As with EFO 300W Yeoman's tried to get registrations in the series *00.
