Reading through this section brought back some memories.
I have provided quite a bit of info about Richardsons and Mike Groves, but I was wondering if anyone could help with Law Bros, who ceased trading around the same time in 1989.
Their petrol station is still open on the Leppings Lane roundabout, although the garage has been rebuilt as a car service garage / carwash and the office was knocked down to build the Burger King.
I remember our school used them for trips. I was told by a driver, interestingly, that the coaches were repainted either orange & white or green & white, depending on the colour of the upholstery.
Coaches I can remember are:
NWA111K Leopard / Plaxton
XNE881L Leopard / Plaxton
MNA16P Leopard / Duple
RAK1R Leopard / Plaxton
TTS885S Leopard / Plaxton
DKA680X Volvo / Van Hool
I'm sure they also had a Volvo / Jonckheere (possibly DVV---X)
Does anyone else know of any further vehicles, or have any photos?

MNA16P was sold to Abbey of Sheffield (part of Abbey Taxis) when Law Bros. disposed of their coach fleet. It was re-registered 64ABY by Abbey and when it was sold on it was again re-registered. I drove it many times at Abbey and despite its age it performed very well on the M1.
