Seen at Newbury Bus Station on 26 March 1966, City of Oxford 1965 Weymann 49-seat dual-purpose bodied AEC Reliance No.617 typifies single-deckers being supplied to BET fleets at this time.

At Midland Red’s Bearwood garage on 10 April 1966, their ‘home-made’ class S13 single-decker No.3949 typifies those built by this operator in the early/mid-1950s. These vehicles were now being withdrawn.

Southdown’s famous full-fronted Leyland Titan PD3 open-toppers were actually ‘convertible’, meaning they had detachable tops for use in cold or inclement weather. For some reason, they appear not to have been photographed often bearing these, but on 30 April 1966 this one, 1963 Northern Counties-bodied PD3A No.413, does have its top fitted when arriving at Wembley for the Schoolboys’ International football cup final.
