Advertising Departments sometime get things wrong

[Mollington St]

If only someone would ask - just sorting out some bus and railway handbills and came across this gem !!

1985 North Devon Red bus promoting the new Rail Link Service to Barnstable .

Very much a London Midland Region Electric Locomotive ??

Dublin City Helicopters - Flying to Holyhead Heliport in 1985

Take a guess at the locomotive , a cross between a Hymek and a Class 47

I would hope that a North Devon bus company would be promoting buses to Barnstaple!

Noted, just in a rush to share

But ironic, given the topic!

That outline of a class 84 was used extensively in BR publicity material in the 1970s and '80s.

And particularly ironic given their somewhat ... indifferent ... performance!

Come to think of it, I think that class 84 image was also used by Northern Ireland Railways on their timetable covers and other publicitry back in the 1970s. Can anyone - especially our NI-based members - confirm or deny?

An attempt at a Class 87 maybe - This is from when you had to catch the bus ( Express 200) into Manchester to then get a train

North Devon Red Bus

Formed from part of Western National, the fleet livery of which was green. Before North Devon could repaint all their buses red, the green ones carried the message 'This is a red bus'
Local coach liveries were standardised around the N.B.C. on two colours applied in bands. North Devon Red Bus, with a selection of red and green service buses chose ... blue and yellow.
Perhaps just someone's attempt at humour...

And sometimes they get it almost correct - 1966 Class 502
