LKH 341 NAH 941 BRISTOL KSW5G/ECW H32/28R
 New to Eastern Counties in 1952, LKH 341 was the last "K" type to operate in public service with the company. This double- decker was purchased by a Suffolk manufacturing firm to transport staff before being bought by a consortium of ECOS members 1976, passing to the Society shortly after for preservation. The bodywork is the last design produced by ECW before the Lodekka, the KSW is a derivative of the Bristol K-series double-decker, the S standing for the longer version at 27ft long and the W standing for “Wide” at 8ft. There are many examples of the Bristol K type in preservation but 341 is the only one of its configuration out of 614 built. The vehicle had the highbridge body which had a centre gangway upstairs rather than the side gangway of other types in the series. The vehicle is undergoing restoration and the picture shows progress as at September 2008.
