Former Royal Blue 1228, HOD30, a Bristol L6A with Beadle C31F body, new in 1948. Withdrawn in 1960 it passed, along with HOD28, to a china clay works for staff transport with whom it survived until 1968.

It passed to the West of England Transport Collection at Winkleigh, and was eventually beautifully restored by Greg Lawson and David Hudson of the Aire Valley Transport Group in Yorkshire and is to be regularly seen at rallies.
