Deregulation meant that operators had to think of ingenious methods to rapidly load buses and compete. OMO had taken over by the late - 70's and by the 80's crewed operation had all but gone. This was a gimmick, a return to old money values, pity the practicality of maintaining elderly, life - expired vehicles wasn't considered at that time. London Transport had the means to keep these on the road......up here didn't and the flirtation with the RM was short - lived..........basically re - painted ex London scrap......every engineer's nightmare!
