A great photo, taken in the June sunshine, of Eastern National SD1221, NVX 176, a Daimler CVD6 with Roberts L27/26R body, one of a batch of six new to City Coach in 1949.
The Victoria Station forecourt was used as the terminus for some of the long distance routes out of Southend such as the 2 to Grays, the 11 to Chelmsford and the 19 to Maldon, Colchester and Clacton.

Many thanks to Ken for his permission to include the photo here.
