    Heritage Liveries in Southend

    While driving through Hadleigh today I noticed buses with colours and branding for three former operators. Westcliff on Sea and Eastern National were parked outside the First garage so I assume operated by them. The Eastern National branding was in the cream and green livery that I think was...
