Bristol K Bus
What is your favourite bus of all time?
If there was a standard post-war double-decker, it is surely the Bristol K type with ECW Series bodywork. In its Gardner, AEC and Bristol-engined variants (K5G, K6A, K6B), a total of 136 were taken into service between 1946-50. The Bristol K6A TD876 (HLJ25) was purchased new by Hants & Dorset in 1949, but one of many of this type diverted, temporarily and without fleetnames, from Tilling Group companies to London Transport. It did not reach the sunny south coast until March 1950.
