I think there might be somebody here that likes this sort of thing :wink:

I took this picture on a recent trip to the west coast USA. This bus seems to be a very long way from its home.

No, it was adjacent to Highway 101 in Oregon. I think that's several hundred miles south of BC.

That isn't a Routemaster.

I don't know what it is though - there are a lot of old buses that were one-offs or prototypes, as well as buses made with whatever parts were available, so don't look entirely as they should! However, that engine cab with small radiator grille is quite distinctive, as is the window configuration.

Even though it's not a Routemaster, it's still a Half-Cab Bus and that's good enough for me. :wink:

As they say in London, "Cor blimey!"

Interesting how it's got a Welsh flag (the one with the dragon.) I like that.
