 Parent to the Windsor operation is RATP's Bath Bus Company, abbreviated BBC. The Bath sightseeing operation is a high profile one and environmentally friendly vehicles help to keep the city authorities happy. Two Euro 6 Volvo B5TL Unvi bodied open toppers joined the operation in 2015. The buses are dual door to help reduce pollution by shortening dwell time at stops. This is 701 (WA14OGE) passing Bath Station in August when still very new. The 2014 registration is deceptive as BBC objected to the Birmingham B prefix plates issued originally as new regulations insist that buses are registered where built and Volvo's UK offices are in Coventry which comes under the B plate region. The two buses were thus re-registered with West of England W plates. Picture ref B854 |
