Seen on South Street, Romford, near Romford Station, in late 05/1992, this Dominator was new to Frontrunner South East although in Ensign livery, who were and still are the wellknown bus dealership, in 01/1991, in a batch of twenty-four. Ensign were operating tendered LRT services and the London Pride sightseeing operation under the Ensignbus banner. Now, this where the story gets convoluted a little. Capital Citybus was formerly known as Ensignbus and was the trading name of Frontrunner South East and Walthamstow Citybus Ltd. Ensignbus had been involved in tendered operations since 06/1986 with Fruntrunner South East being acquired from Stagecoach three years later with the LRT and commercial services becoming known as Ensign Citybus in 07/1990. Frontrunner was then sold to Hong Kong based CNT Group in 12/1990. The separate Walthamstow Citybus operation began in Autumn 1991. All these changes meant that this visit to Romford was a colourful if not confusing scene as there was also a change with some County Bus & Coach operations transferring to Grey-Green, as can be seen in the previous photo.
