Good video! The double deckers don’t change much apart from drive trains and modern fittings! Reminds me of catching a dd of The Aldershot and District Traction Company from Aldershot to Fleet late at night! The bus chassis where made by Bristol Bus Co. and were known for being powerful and fast! That was a hold on tight ride! The driver said he was hitting 70mph in places and that was on country roads! That was 58yrs ago! Keep doing what you like doing and best of luck!

I can imagine what the drivers would be feeling behind the wheel of those older buses doing 70, must be a complete different feeling then to the mow modernised buses that are around today
