SEEING THE SIGHTS

摘要

As in many seaside locations, for decades operators in south-west England have sought to attract customers with a ride on an open-top double-decker. While many have been older buses decapitated for a seasonal life extension, new buses have been a feature here for many years, almost all of them convertible to enable use in winter. Devon General's Sea Dogs -named after historic seafarers - were nine Leyland Atlanteans in 1961 with bodies built by Metro-Cammell that gave service for nearly 20 years. In the same year, Bristol Omnibus Company bought four convertible ECW-bodied Bristol Lodekka FS6Gs for use in Weston-super-Mare.
