Actually Torquay isn't all that big, it just seems so because of all it's steep hills like the one's here in the background. But for Bristol VR No.1228 it would be a fairly gentle run as it was working alongside the open-top VR's on the well known 122 taking the attractive coastal road through Brixham to Paignton. Under Harry Blundred not only did double-deckers but big buses too became pretty well extinct within this by then Privatised NBC company. Under Stagecoach ownership once more there is a healthy mix or different buses to enjoy but sadly of course Nineteen-Eighties views of these pleasant sounding Bristols is just another memory.
