Red & White Services Ltd U153, LAX630, was a Bristol LS6G with ECW B45F body new in October 1953.
It was the first of a batch of 11, the remainder of which were new between December 1953 and February 1954. This was the first new vehicle with the Bristol/ECW combination purchased new, setting a trend for all new vehicles until 1972, with the exception of a pair of Plaxton bodied Bristol RELH6L coaches new in 1971. It was withdrawn in 1971 and acquired by May of that year by Contract Bus Services Ltd, Caerwent, who did not operate it. It was dismantled for spares at Contract BS Crick Depot in June 1972.
