Richard and all, It's getting less surprising in London with the requirement for low floor access getting ever closer and I suspect it makes business sense as you cater to a bigger market. Big Bus have a number of two axle Volvo / Optare open tops in the same style as the tri-axles. Arriva have got some too I believe plus they have the Ayats bodied Volvos from a few years back. The thing that never ceases to amaze is just how many people take open top tours. The buses go past 55 Broadway (where I work) regularly and they are usually well subscribed regardless of operator. Someone, somewhere is making a lot of money. Paul Corfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "London Bus Scene" group.
