I was a conductor at weston in the 1960 s on the ks double deckers and the lowdeckers the seafront was service 103 and 7 was 105 and high st to bournville was 108- 109 they were good days and great fun in the summer

the lowdecker convertible open tops still survive .

[ilovebrean]

that was luvly to watch thank you for taking the time and effort to film it 5******

it takes the mick...how many double deckers were on the 7 route and thats during holiday time and the middle pf the day and yet they never put then on in the mornings during term time as they are seriously needed at that time...as i don't think B7L's and B7RLE's were built to serve the pur[ose of being a TARDIS

i think the beavers are being replaced early 2010 as on the first website the 3 is being reduced to every 20 mins and it says it will benifit from low floor buses which will be introduced in early 2010

oh god i remember those J reg j***HWS weren't they, the ones they use in bath were originally from weston as the are P258-264PAE which always done the 7 route, if you've noticed most of the fleet now are volvo powered

[jonboi206]

yeh lets be fair they are nackered! and the old J reg ones went years ago and they were only 2 years older than most of the current ones! yeh its a shame but maybe they will replace them with SLF darts like they use in bath!

[AZstigie69]

really at peak times they need the b7tl or an olympian as its a nightmare not the beavers they aren't even big enough for the 3 route at most times, they must be repairing the volvo b7's or something, best thing to do is ask i think to see if they are getting rid of them, and the iconic noise well be lost, it is a shame but the time has come i think

[jonboi206]

yeh i think they just use anythin on anything at the minute! i saw a beaver on the 121s, doubles and beavers on the 7s too. i spect they are just workin on certain vehicles! guess we will just have to watch this space with the beavers!
