New Zealand Railways Road Services bus

The government-owned New Zealand Railways Road Services was the biggest operator of coaches from the mid-1930s to 1991, when the company was privatised. In the 1960s the company ran a large number of Bedford SB3s with New Zealand Motor Bodies’ Omnicoach bodywork – like this one.
