Open-top bus, Church Road, Worle ? 1978
On one of the open-top bus tours run by Bristol Omnibus in the Weston area, this one to the Kewstoke Woods and Sand Bay area with views across the Bristol Channel to South Wales.
This is a bus with a long and colourful history. It started life with Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co in 1941 before moving to the Brighton, Hove & District company where it was converted to open-top for sea front service. In 1965 it was bought by Thomas Bros of Port Talbot, then passed back to Bristol Omnibus in 1969, operating tours in Weston-super-Mare for many years. It went into preservation in 1979, then again reverted to Bristol Omnibus in 1985, operating with it and its successors https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6746920 until 2003, since when it has been in the hands of the Bristol Vintage Bus Group. It retains its original Gardner 5LW and had to work hard in low gear on even this short climb up Church Road to Spring Hill.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
