The fleetname is 'Robin and Rambler', the operator's address seen on the back of the coaches is Market Close, Wilbury - apparently fictitious..... the real operator may be Rambler of Westbury." - Link to "busesonscreen.net" HWP = Worcestershire Sept 49 to Jan 50, HKP = Kent May to Aug 46.

I wish we had the technology they use in Hollywood films to zoom in on a part of a photograph and magically make it crystal clear - there are at least three coaches in the background :-)
