Buses on Screen - Films Jm-Jz

John and Julie (1955, Colin Gibson, Lesley Dudley, Moira Lister)

Story of two children running away from home to see the 1953 Coronation. Two coaches are featured: Leyland Tiger HYL27 is seen leading an AEC Regal III, possibly HWP397 or HKP397.

The fleetname is 'Robin and Rambler', the operator's address seen on the back of the coaches is Market Close, Wilbury - apparently fictitious. Bob Wingrove, who provided these screencaps, suggests the real operator may be Rambler of Westbury. Can anyone enlarge on this?

Several more coaches are seen in the background of this sequence:

In the London footage two AEC RTs are glimpsed:
