Topless in Bournemouth

Bournemouth Yellow Buses bought three new convertible open-top Volvo B7TLs with East Lancs Vyking bodies in 2002. Here we see the first of the three, 430 (HJ02 HFA) at The Square the following year. It's probably now a good nine or so years since the roofs were last removed from these buses. It's an interesting design as they have very thoughtfully retained the upper deck rear emergency window, so there is a means of escape if there was ever an accident. LOL!

 

Bournemouth has only ever issued HF and HJ registrations to PSVs. On the rare occasions HF hasn't been used, it issues HJ - both 2002 series (02 and 52) and then in 2013 (63) and 2016 (16).
