The bus was part of a large batch delivered in the later part of 1949 to early 1950. It was a Bristol chassis with a Gardner K5G diesel engine. The body like most of the Eastern National buses of that period was by Eastern Coachworks, Lowestoft. The original fleet number was 4059 changing to 1342 in the 1954 renumbering and to 2270 in 1964.

Date: March 1963
