WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DOUBLE DECKER PART ONE

With credit to Syd Eade, we see Eastern Counties Bristol Lodekka LKD 175 UNG 175 in the pre NBC classic Red and Cream with Gold fleet name in the early 1970's with the typical service blind for Norwich service 511, awaiting passengers in Castle Meadow.

The whole exercise is to eventually see what exactly was the most classic double decker pre 1980's was obviously if i listed every one on one poll that wouldn't work so each week i will split the poll into parts involving the different manufacturers so to me the most obvious one to start with is Bristol with the VR, Lodekka and the K series, i haven't split them up to include the different types ie VR series 1, 2 or 3 as that just complicates things, next week i will tackle AEC/Leyland to include the Regent 3 and 5, Atlantean, Routemaster, RT.
 Now preserved by Viv Carter with Carters is Eastern Counties Bristol VR 294 VEX 294X.
