When I was a child growing up in the Fifties and Sixties as far as buses were concerned everything more or less stayed the same. But after Deregulation change was rapid and now I'm so glad that I managed to visit so many places during the Nineties with a colour film in my camera. One of these visits was to Southend one glorious Summer day where not only did the seaside town, like Bournemouth still operate a fleet of smartly turned out Daimler Fleetlines it delighted enthusiasts by doing the same for the London Routemaster. In it's latter years London Transport seemed to have a love-hate-relationship with these buses for even though the public loved them they wanted to replace them with something more modern to speed up OPO and to offer something more practical for disabled passengers. However Britain's Provincial operators knew a good bus when they saw one.
