An Optare Solo SR! I am surprised it was actually working. We had some small Solo buses and handling was ‘interesting’ when they were working.
I had one boil over. The expansion tank sounded like a fucking kettle. The reason was that the Cooling Pack sat behind the N/S/R wheels. So all the dirt and shit from the narrow country lanes blocked evening up…
Optare were once known for innovative and well built models. Sales figures show this might not be the case now…
A Dennis Dart with what appears to be an East Lancashire Coach Builders body… Would make a very good motor home as has already been suggested.
They’re a nice drive. Passed my driving test on something similar! 
One of my favourite streamliners; the Burlingham Seagull:
Fuck it; whilst we’re doing Streamliners, check these beauties:
Edd does not want a bus.
Edd need not worry; these are coaches. Not buses! 
Anyhoo, Jonckheere (now VDL) build Coaches. They also built this streamliner. 
Our Milkfloats have alloy wheels in order to save weight.
Quite interesting; didn’t realise they were that strong!
I was pleased find yesterday that I am now on the Number One bus route in London. Quite literally as they have replaced/extended what used to be the 168 and created a Hampstead Heath to Canada Wharf route.
Note when the 168 it was a Boris Bus.
Aha! And MCV EvoRa* Edit EvoSeti bodied Volvo B5LH Hybrid …
*That’s how it’s supposed to be written. For the Single Decker…Presumably so as not to upset Lotus Cars…
I fucked up and the correct name is im the edit…
I used to drive similar buses with different bodywork. Quite nippy, but care must be taken when negotiating tight turnings… Long rear overhang means ‘kickout’…
Forget the commentary; I’d love to take JV out on a driving lesson in a bus.

Those things were bloody lethal. I used to commute between Liverpool Street and London Bridge. In a single week 4 nights out of 5 I passed motorcyclist sprawled across the road and cock-eyed Boris Bus parked up.
Well at my end of the route its starts and end with a number of narrow and 90 degree turns. I look forward to looking at the blocked roads when a driver gets it wrong.
This article is some bullshit; if you’ve been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Las Vegas, British Columbia and Berlin and travelled on Alexander Dennis double deckers then these would be familiar.
It has been a while since a 'decker with three axles has been operated in service in London…
So no, the bus in the My London article has fucking fuck all to do with London .
Different Underframe and totally different mechanically… 
Why is this placed here? Well John Heffernan also styled my favourite vehicle, the Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen.
It really was quite different from the other coaches on the market when launched in 1982.
Unfortunately it was something of a sales flop.
I reckon it is possible to see how these products are styled by the same person. 
I should add that it is my grille emblem is on the front of the coach. Was cool to see this on the vehicle for which it was designed!
Cool to see you are in the 10% of people who know the difference between ‘grille’ and ‘grill’ 
Although perhaps not how capitals letters should be used.
