Last Updated : March 13th 2018(under construction)
The ownership and operational details of this company are various and complicated and I am indebted to Andy Saunders for providing the following summary:
The Blue Bus fleetname
has not been used since 1990, when David Boughton, the proprietor, gave up
operations in Suffolk and moved to Devon (under the name of Bulley's Bus
Services). The company name at that time was Rallybeam Limited, which was the
successor company (8/88) to Felixstowe Omnibuses Ltd.
After a spell in Devon, Boughton returned to Suffolk in 1998, but no fleet name
was used since then, just the company name Rallybeam Ltd. Rallybeam Ltd has
subsequently been wound up, and he now operates as A C Aldis & Co Ltd and as
Venturer Coachways Ltd. By the way, Felixstowe Omnibus was actually Felixstowe
Omnibuses Ltd, and the predecessor to this was Stanlake Passenger Transport
Company Ltd (Fleet name Primrose and Blue). Locations have been variously at
Ipswich, Debach (more correctly, Clopton) and now Framlingham.
This page lists all Bristol REs, LHs and VRs operated by Rallybeam including links to all photos currently in the BVRES Collection showing the liveries carried by individual vehicles. If you have any further information or photos I would be delighted to hear from you at rob@robsly.com
