Pretty cool… surprising to see.

Wonderful vehicles. I learned to drive one a few years ago as our church used it as a mobile evangelistic vehicle, going round the parish and holding kids work and meetings on it. Brilliant memories.

[Junan Heath]

Wonderful shot!

They are such an icon of Great Britain. What color were your busses?

@onewing @casablanca @grammyn @bkbinthecity @carole_sandford @illinilass @shutterbug49 When the English occupied The Cape, they wanted their buses here too. In 1929 the Leyland company sent out their latest double-decker motor bus, a 48 seater, petrol engine as a demonstrator to South Africa.
It was originally brought to Matjiesfontein as a tour bus.

I am not sure but I think our busses ere built here according to this model. The company who ran them here is called Golden Arrow and they were a pinkish/beige colour.

[Cordiander]

A very nice bus!

[Chris Cook]

Vancouver has only recently introduced double decker buses on some of its busy routes, although they are a new style, not this classic red London style. I guess it helps with overcrowding.

[haskar]

Beautifully captured.
