In 1961 the maximum length of single-deckers was increased to 36
feet. Bristol Commercial Vehicles and Eastern Coach Works designed
their first rear-engined single-decker to take advantage of this
new length. Two prototypes were built and tested in service in
1962. United Automobile Services had the RELL version with a low
chassis frame for bus work. South Midland had the RELH version with
a high frame for coach work. Production started in 1963, with
Eastern Coach Works-bodied buses and coaches for the nationalised
Tilling Group companies, plus some Alexander-bodied coaches for the
nationalised Scottish Motor Traction Group companies. In this book
the author illustrates the Bristol RE in service from 1970 to 1994
in England and North Wales. This includes Tilling Group companies,
National Bus Company subsidiaries, municipal operators and
independents, some of the new companies created from bus
deregulation and privatisation from 1986, plus a few more recent
photos of preserved Bristol REs.
