A different twist to Picture of the Week this week. As we near completion of the makeover and update to our West of England archive pictures from the days of colour slides were checked and this one picture remained from Yeovil Bus Station in the late seventies. It depicts Safeway Services Duple bodied AEC Reliance TYD888. The 43 seat coach is on the village bus service to Crewkerne and Safeway's home base of South Petherton. The business run by the Gunn family started in 1928 and lasted eighty years through several generations of the Gunns. It expanded on the demise of local rival Hutchings & Cornelius in 1979. On retirement of then owner Veronica Gunn the business was sold to South West Coaches.
