Mexborough & Swinton 105, OUF834, a Leyland Royal Tiger PSU1/11 with Harrington Wayfarer C26C 7ft 6in wide body, new to Southdown (834) in 1954.
It was renumbered 1834 around 1960.
Operated by U.T.A. on the Irish leg of Southdown's Irish Coach Cruises, it apparently had to be transferred to U.T.A. ownership whilst doing so. This lasted until 1963 when it returned to Southdown, being sold back to them at current book value ! It was then repainted into the livery of Buck's of Worthing - a company that Southdown had recently taken over. It was withdrawn in 1966 and passed to Mexborough & Swinton - a B.E.T. company which took quite a number of former Southdown vehicles over the years - and was withdrawn by them in late 1968.
