The bus is an ex Bournemouth Fleetline. One of 7 bought by London Transport for the round London sightseeing tour in 1977 but they did not enter service until May 1978. They all worked through to the summer of 1981 when disposals began. The year is 1978, May to October, as the bus was acquired as an open top but had a top fitted in October 1978 and kept it on for the rest of its life.This bus was known as DMO7 and was sold and exported to Sweden in 1982.
