Daimler Roadliner
Posing in the sun at Burslem on the 'Hanley Finale' running day is this rare beast - a preserved Bournemouth Corporation Daimler Roadliner.
I remember when some of them were hired to London Country in the mid-70s and certainly went on at least one then. Whilst the Roadliner doesn't have a good reputation, there was nothing wrong with this one. It was quiet, fast and smooth riding - and there was no bodywork rattle either. There were also no internal steps - 'low floor' buses aren't so new after all. Not bad for a 1967 vehicle!.
