Southdown at Worthing Celebrating 100 Years

We continue our series of video programmes featuring Southdown buses and coaches in 2015, the centenary year of this once great bus company. This time the independent transport videos cameras visited Worthing seafront on Sunday 5th July to record the events on a very special day. The occasion was the Southdown Reunion & Running Day. An event to bring together former members of staff including drivers, conductors, conductresses, inspectors, maintenance and office staff, in fact anyone that had worked with the company over the years. Three rides were taken and recorded for you to enjoy. All on route 31 to Aldworth Avenue, Goring. The first is on 516 (UUF 116J) a Bristol VRT/SL2/6G with an ECW H70F body. The second journey is on board 970 (AUF 670) a 1934 Leyland Titan TD3 with East Lancs H52R bodywork, dating from 1946, and our third ride is on 248 (GCD 48) a 1939 Leyland Titan TD5 with a Park Royal H54R body dating from 1950. We hope you enjoy our record of the day.
