Bedford VAS/PxK Bus

The Bedford VAS short wheelbase bus chassis made its debut at the 1960 Brtish Commercial Motor Show, along with the TK truck. The VAS was available with 214 cubic inch petrol (VAS2), 300 cubic inch petrol engine (VAS3) or 330 cubic inch diesel engines (VAS5). All engines were 6 cylinders. In 1962 it was joined by 11m twin-steer VAL. The V-series chassis range was completed with the medium sized VAM in 1966. In the 70s the models were redesignated with VAS3 becoming PFK and VAS2 becoming PDK and VAS5 becoming PJK.

The buses on this site are actively tracked. The last registration record search was 11 March 2017

Department of Education

The Bedford VAS was bought widely in the late 1970's and early 1980's by the Department of Education for use as a school bus. Numbers 200-390 had NZMB bodies with front door only and providing capscity for 56 or 60 primary school childern. Numbers 391-418 had CWI bodies providing capacity for 46 primary children. Those licenced to carry adults are designated B29F. In the late 1980's a change of government policy meant the Department of Education ceased operating buses and the fleet was sold off to contract operators. Many continued to operate in the department's red and yellow colour scheme. Prior to the privitisation of the 1980s Department of Education buses and Post Office trucks were used by Jusctice Department in the weekends for groups serving periodic detention. Justice had to buy buses and trucks, frequently the vehicles already used. This move to increase state sector efficiency resulted in 2 fleets of vehicles - those used by Justice in the weekends and school buses and Telecom trucks used only during the week.

Hammonds Coach Service

In 1967 Hammonds de Luxe Coach Service of Trentham purchased a VAS with C41F body for use on Wellington city sightseeing tours. The bus was in regular use into the 1990s and was kept as a back up coach until 2003. All except the last owner are just changes in the company providing the sightseeing tour.
