UEL562J spent much of its working life at Southampton depot, but was initially allocated to Bournemouth. However, even then it was a regular visitor to Southampton, as seen here – in almost original condition, although after the September 1971 renumbering. This vehicle had a long working life, serving for several years with Independent Coachways, before being puchased for preservation in 1996. Modesty prevents me from giving the name of the purchaser, but she (the vehicle, not the purchaser!) is currently awaiting restoration.
