National NBC Mobile Travel Office - Lincolnshire / East Yorkshire.

            This Bristol RELH6G WVL515, with handsome Eastern Coachworks Bodywork was new to Lincolnshire in July 1964 as Fleet number 2822.
Originally all over cream with a green Tilling waistband it succumbed to National white but continued to perform top link duties until at least 1978 to London and on other work including Excursions.

It was converted into a mobile travel office to showcase Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire products and it is in the guise it is seen here in Scunthorpe 4th May 1984.
It received the fleet number of Lincolsnhire 10.

The nearside had a very large roller shutter door that was opened and a step placed for people to enter. This made the nearside (kerbside) not as smart as this offside view.

It was still performing this travel office role in 1985. 

Fate of the Bristol is unknown but by 1995 it was in a very sorry state at a scrapyard in North Sherburn and was presumably scrapped.

Later (by 1989, presumably when the Bristol was withdrawn) the registration was given to a Yorkshire Traction National Holidays (then with Airedale Tours branding) Plaxton Paramount coach as No.67.
It then went onto a rather utilitarian 'Roadcar' Leyland Tiger East Lancs single decker (new to National Welsh as a Duple Caribbean coach and rebodied with its East Lancs bus body) and was still on that vehicle in 2006.
