Galway Bus in England

vulcan57 · 2011-07-20 17:29:56

Was over in England last weekend for an air show and this was in the world war II village along with a load of other vehicles from that era. Anyone know where it might have originated from? the logo on the side was GRS, presumably Galway something, maybe Galway Road Services ??

There's an old Galway fire engine in the transport museum in Glasgow, too.

It's a Leyland Tiger bus manufactured in 1936.
I wonder if it's this bus

It is a GSR logo ( Great Southern Railways) which became CIE some time around world war two. It would have been resprayed Green by CIE before it was photograped in 1951.

Could be the same bus but it has a UK reg plate now.
