Our bus was the 15th rebuilt by Marshall’s, from an original 2600 buses produced. Completely refurbished by Ken Livingstone in 2001, at a said cost of £50,000, the bus is environmentally friendly.
The traditional Open Back is great, and we have now fitted very powerful heaters to the lower saloon (does not alter the buses appearance in any way), ensuring absolute comfort at all times and no chance of a cold bus even on the chilliest days and nights.
Attracts Major attention at any venue. Cameras appear from nowhere when the bus stops, and even while its moving people grab for their phones to snap you. There are precious few left in the country and even less available for public occasions.


Special Rates for Charitable Organisations and every effort to accommodate less able persons (and we can take folded wheelchairs)
Experience a nostalgic trip with part of the country's heritage.
We aim to keep on running for a few moreyears. Don't wait to long though --- there wont be another one along in a minute if you miss this one! You may miss the last opportunity. These buses will not be on the road forever.
Steve and Louise, I am so pleased that we came across your company and that we managed to book you. It was a real 'show stopper' in the midst of all the limos. Several people took photos of the bus for it's novelty value with the unusual destination board on the front! We've already seen photos on other peoples Facebook entries. The local press were taking photos for a Proms supplement which they are producing next month.
Steve, they had a wonderful time and enjoyed the bus. the bus sign also came in very handy for the various photos.
Steve many thanks for picking up the wife on her 50th birthday she loved the bus it was better than any limo much more fun it made the day. Thanks!
Thousands have witnessed the end of these wonderful buses in London,
but this one is back for you to enjoy in the West Country.
