Paul,

Interesting you should mention about those right-hand drive double-decker buses here!

The tour company that owned them doesn't exist anymore.

Their drivers were involved in some serious accidents - I think some deaths were involved. After all this publicity the operator went belly up and a bigger tour operator bought the company's assets.

The new operator phased out the old buses and are now using left-hand drive buses only, made by Dennis.

Later it was found out that the original owner had lied to US Customs about the age of the buses on the declaration sheets so that they could avoid having them inspected for fumes.

Last time I saw these right-had drive buses was either in Montreal, Boston....or was it San Diego? Hmmm....

But definitely not in New York anymore.

The funny thing was that some of these old right-hand drive buses still had the British licence plates on them and all the original warning labels and ads and everything still on the inside!!! [Linked Image]

Wonder what happened to them.
