Brighton Corporation
A rear entrance PD2 in the traditional livery in March 1973. At the time I think the 49 might have been the only route to retain crew operation. Others had gone one man, often surprisingly using front-entrance PD2s, which also surprisingly survived for a long time.
A Brighton Hove & District Fleetline can be seen creeping up behind - demonstrating the fact that they were in the same livery! However by this time both were changing - corporation buses were going blue and white and BH&D were going green. Initially this had been nice Southdown green and cream - but this soon changed to dismal National green.
Note the Jolyon tea shop!
