USA & CANADA 744-OJ-62 USA & CANADA General American Legion Post 123, Sanibel. 450 SNU was acquired about September/October 1987 from the previous, unknown, owner who was allegedly in jail on drugs charges!! It was still owned in 11/98 at which time it was painted white. Boyertown Trolley, Pensacola. 470 FTT was acquired from a Mrs Ellis of Mobile, Alabama, after her husband’s death. It is still fitted out as a mobile café, but is in need of some restoration following vandalism. British Bus of Florida, Miami. This appears to have been another rather short-lived charter and sightseeing operation in Florida. Buckley & Bland, Fort Lauderdale. I am now reliably informed that EAP 999V was not converted to open top by Partridge, Hadleigh, before export from the UK in 11/96; indeed when photographed with Chicago MCC in 7/98 not only did it still retain its roof, it had gained an off-side entrance which may have been fitted in the UK. Furthermore it has been suggested that EAP 999V never reached Florida but was diverted elsewhere in the USA (Chicago?) to be replaced by TBD 755G (originally GRP 787L) of Chicago MCC! This would tend to confirm there was a connection between Buckley & Bland and the company trading as “Double Deck Tours of Fort Lauderdale” as speculated in OJ700. Did anyone see EAP 999V in Fort Lauderdale? Conch Republic Café, Key West. It is believed it was at this stage that 470 FTT was converted to a mobile café with kitchen on the lower deck and seating area upstairs. At some stage it was sold at auction in Key West whence it was acquired by a car dealer from Mobile, AL, who then had it towed to his forecourt. Gateway Bus Tours, Miami. Number 3 (GDL 770E) is in Miami for the second time, having been one of the buses sent there in 1994 when New York Double Deckers entered the Florida sightseeing market. It subsequently returned to New York only to be sent south again some seven years later. Harris {Party Bus}, Miami. Stephen Harris did a tremendous conversion job on the interior of 450 SNU to turn it into a party/tour bus for about 30 guests, with a refreshment bar in the lower saloon. Externally too it was immaculately painted red with a Union Jack and blue wheels. -?-, Fort Myers area. At this stage it is thought that 450 SNU was employed as a (mobile?) billboard.

I can now confirm the identity of 213 as TWR 467W as shown in OJ738. The new Dennis Tridents were delivered over a period spanning approximately March to July 2001, but it appears none entered service until about June. 71330 - 71340 had not entered service at the beginning of August but it is thought all had been used before the downturn in traffic from September onwards. The “registration numbers” (in brackets) that I show above are in fact the New York plates (as at 7/01), as being new vehicles they never carried UK identities. All up to 71320 are in the original livery (with “Broadway” on the front) as illustrated in OJ738; at least 71321/3/5/6 are in a different “New York Sightseeing” livery, and several, including 71324/7/9 are in service without any signwriting but liberally plastered with advertising (a new source of revenue?).
