One of his drivers has kindly sent me some photos of the coaches on their last day in the depot, on there way to be sold. CRT were always famed for their old and interesting fleet, and you knew whenever you say that lovely cream and blue livery, you were in for a treat. Surprising that nowadays cream doesn't get used as much as it once was, as the fleet always looks superb.
Even I have fond memories of CRT when I used to travel on one of the Dennis Javelins weekly in primary school for swimming lessons in Saltash, from Cawsand. Its memories like that, that has made this companies departure particularly sad.
On a happier note Keith will be retaining LUI9955 the Baby Tiger, the Ex-Maynes Leopard/Class 6 coach/tow truck and another of the Tigers with a "CRT" registration.
Good luck to Keith in his retirement, but I for one will sorely miss the company!

Does anyone know the link between Caradon Riviera and Darley Ford Travel? Darley Ford used to be known as Deebles at one point, and they used to have a huge school contract.
I believe the companies were originally set up by 2 brothers. Caradon Riviera by E J Deeble and Darley Ford by A J Deeble. Am not sure if it originally started as one company and maybe split due to a family disagreement.
