Continuing the bendibus saga, the second batch of Leyland DAB bendibuses joined the fleet in 1986 for the City Clipper service. Unlike the first batch, the DAB bodies seemed to have little Leyland National influence. With 2002 (C102HDT) in the lead, two are seen here in the city centre when new. |

Not on the City Clipper, artic 2001 (C101HDT) was in an advertisement livery for the local Star newspaper. |

In contrast 2006 (C106HDT) was suitably bedecked for Clipper work. |

No mistaking the location. Limebourne set up Cityrama as an early entrant in the London sightseeing open top market. The fleet comprised ex London DMS, but added some of SYPTE's unusual ECW bodied Daimler Fleetlines. This is believed to be former 825 (GWA825N). The Cityrama identity was kept separate from the rest of the business, and Cityrama also tried its hand at LT contracted services but was not successful and that side of the operation ceased. Cityrama was later absorbed by Ensignbus' London Pride operation. Also in this view is an Optare City Pacer on the new C1 service and an unidentified decker in a Docklands wrap. |
