What is your favourite bus of all time?


Classic Bristol Lodekka FLF Bus 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 (Mansfield District)


The mould breaking Bristol/ECW Lodekka design revolutionised the concept of lowheight double-deckers, permitting normal central gangways in both decks in place of the awkward upper deck offset gangway of the lowbridge designs. The Lodekka first appeared in 1949 in prototype form and went into production in 1954 with the LD series, to be replaced from 1959 by the flat-floor, air-suspension F series models. Of the total 5,217 Lodekkas built, 1,867 were FLFs.
