Anybody remember the Bristol VR ?

This particular bus is owned by the Cardiff Transport Preservation Group. It was photographed by myself at Porth Depot in March 2016. It had just been for its annual MOT.

What about school buses? We had these in my comprehensive years...

Panorama Elite III

Used to go on school trips on these, They were like greenhouses in the summer with no AC. I remember the soggy sandwiches.

BELOW 002 (EJI 8221) is seen here at the WELB’s former depot at Mountfield Road, Omagh. Following accident damage, this vehicle has received a much simplified front panel.

The 3 T-types were frequent visitors to Belfast when new, and EJI 9206 is seen in Glengall Street during the early 1980s.

My dad used to drive a bus exactly like this one in the late 60s-early 70s, he worked out of Weaste bus depot in Manchester, he had six kids so had to quit shift work but he always spoke fondly of his days as a bus driver

Re: Buses



We had these buses plying Sydney streets in the 70s/80s. Not sure but I think they were the Brit Leyland model.
The last Atlantean double-decked buses were decomissioned in 1986.
