Yes P.R. they did use Bristol Lowdekkers and if you get the chance to read a book by Bill James called ‘Top Deck Daze’, I think that you will find it very interesting.
I don’t know if you have seen this before, from the A.B.C.

I’ve driven the one on the left TMY700 and ridden on it many times, my mate was a previous owner. It was then blue with a yellow stripe and carried the name “Blue Supreme”. He used to keep it in his street, got in it once to go somewhere, went to put it in gear, no gear lever. Somebody had nicked the box, a common Bedford problem

A rare Yeates of Loughborough bodied coach. At least the delivery mileage would have been low

Two lovely coaches. Thanks.
And from the same neck of the woods:
Artic desert buses. Atkinson. Nairn perhaps? Or summat similar.

I don’t think Nairn was still operating when this Atkinson was put on the road, or rather track.

In what was a controversial move locally, Garston Bus Garage built in 1952 and had become a listed building, was demolished for housing earlier this year.

An event was held in 2018 to mark its closure:
An almost new double decker bus parked at Wigan bus station. It is classed as a Wrightbus,
but it makes me wonder…Is it built on a DAF, Scania, or Volvo, or do Wrights in Northern
Ireland build everything, or is the chassis imported from the far east ?.

It’s a Wrights “Streetdeck” which is their chassis and body rolled into one.
