entrances from the left to the righthand side of a bus, although alterations from right to left-hand drive are not undertaken. Most purchasers prefer to get the remaining use out of the tyres already fitted, but remoulds can be supplied all round for £70. The company buy large quantities of components, and guarantee to maintain purchasers with spares for 10 years.
This company has sent buses or chassis, formerly operated on British roads, to Malta, Athens, Tripoli, Ceylon, Ceuta, Southern Rhodesia, British West Africa, Bermuda, Nyasaland, Cyprus, Kenya, New Zealand, India, Yugoslavia, Gibraltar, Belgium, Holland, Melilla, Aden, Tetuan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Eighty Guy and A.E.C. vehicles supplied to Yugoslavia are now operating in Belgrade, Zagreb, Split and Novi-Sad. Although past their youth, it is reported that the double-deckers are carrying up to 100 passengers.
Evidence of satisfaction on the part of the users lies in the repeat orders received, and I was interested to observe that the South Western Bus Co., Ltd., Ceylon, having taken delivery of 50 Daimlers and Guys early in 1953, had given instructions for a similar number to be supplied in November.
In the case of Continental buyers, many vehicles are driven to Dover, cross the Channel by steamer, and are then driven to their destinations. As double-deckers are an uncommon sight in many countries, they tend to attract considerable attention when delivered in this way. It is therefore surprising to learn that one consignment of 200, paid for by agents in Britain, could not be traced after having been sent in this way to an unknown destination, and it is not without interest to speculate on their whereabouts.
Six second-hand double-deck buses are operated by SA.B.E.N.A. at Melsbroek Airport, and during 1951-52 they carried im. people.
Mexico has recently shown an interest in double-deckers, and it is
hoped that in due time sales may be effected there through the Consolidated Bus and Equipment Co., of America, with whom Norths have a reciprocal arrangement.
Even power units find fresh uses in far corners of the earth, bus engines being sent out in large numbers to the Far East where they are adapted for use in fishing boats.
Clearly, old buses are not for burning. In fact, when their British patrons bid them farewell the most colourful period of their lives is often just beginning.
