A wet and windy day on the sea front on route from
Rottindean is this Bristol KS, the short lived version of the K, prior to the change in width restrictions
which added 6 inches and resulted in mass production of the KSW model. The narrowness of the body
is further emphasised by the full height bodywork - Brighton not suffering the usual Tilling fleet curse
of lowbridges in the area.

Another highbridge K, this time KSW 476 (JAP514)
on layover in Old Steine in more appreciative weather.

Brighton, Hove & District 9 (RPN9) awaits passengers at Old Steine alongside a Brighton Corporation of
an earlier time, when most of the municipal fleet were MCW bodied PD2s. A bit like Max Miller above,
9 is an open topper, and sports the open top colour cheme of cream and black, but the roof remains
firmly attached.

3 (OPN803) is all set to enjoy the sunshine. Last of the
first batch of 3 Lodekkas to fleet, the vehicle can have its top refitted. Curiously designated as an LDS6B
chassis - the reason for the S subscript unknown.

31 (VAP31) from the second batch of forward entrance
Lodekkas to join the fleet, both batches being to the rare 27ft 6in (rather than 30ft) dimensions, thus this
is a Bristol FSF6G (preceeding and following batches were FSF6B - Bristol as opposed to Gardner engined).
