YJG 807, 808 and 809 (AEC Regent V Bridgemasters) were a vast improvement on the earlier buses on that route. They were perhaps the ugliest buses ever, the Guy Arabs. Introduced during the war as a "utility" bus, the low height version had a side gangway and wide four person bench seats on the top deck.
As an aside, I have a query. In the summer we went on a coach transfer to an hotel. After we had got on, an old dear with a walking frame got on as well. The driver made the bus "kneel down" so that it was the same level as the kerb. Most modern buses do this and very good it is too. However, this was a mid engined coach with five steps up to the seating area. So what's the point of lowering it? Daft.
