Caught This British Bus In Eastchester Yesterday

[x635 4,066]

I saw this bus yesterday on the Post Road in Eastchester, being escorted by a pilot car with a height warning stick. It was headed towards White Plains.

It's an actually public transit bus used in London. It was BRAND new, and loaded with cool features. It's manufactured by The Wright Group, and operated by Arriva, who is similar to what Liberty Lines is here.

It was TALL, much taller then the double decker tour buses in NYC, hard to appreciate in the photo.

It was here for Prince Harry's visit, but is sticking around to show itself off to many interested governments. Wonder where it's next stop will be.

Sorry for the cruddy shot, I had to work real quick to get it.

Great catch. A little too progressive for the states, though.

Have'nt you seen the Mega-Bus. The big blue busses that run between NYC and Boston & Washington.

I was thinking along the lines of NYCTA or NJT. Seen those Mega's, wouldn't want to sit up top though.

It looked a lot taller then the Mega Bus though.

It's times like this where I miss Rich Stiller (DADBO46). I'm sure he saw the bus from heaven, and one day in the distant future we can talk about it.

Maybe MegaBus should have a pilot car too.

Are double deckers being made stateside or are they being imported here?
