HISTORY | New to Brighton Corporation in 1962. The vehicle was Britain's first double deck one-man-operation bus, when converted in June 1966, despite being far from ideally suited to the role with the driver having to turn to serve customers through a small window onto the platform behind (see second photo below). |
This is the passenger's view. The driver has to twist round to serve the passengers.
