DoubleDeckerAnton I agree Anton, but personally I like a good old enviro like we have in London and the rest of the UK (I never forget Yorkshire because of you). Personally I don't like the modified versions for America and Hong Kong etc.
After months of testing, the electric double deckers finally made their debut this week on the Silver Streak, and I was lucky enough to capture one of them!
Even though I was a kid, back in the early 1990s (before the MTA merger) I once saw a RTD Neoplan Double Decker bus traveling westbound on the 10 Freeway near the Kellogg Interchange. I thought I was hallucinating, but it looks like one did make it into the 90s, as most of them were retired by then. It might of been doing a deadhead trip to El Monte Station. The 484 & 490 (now Foothill 190, 194, & Silver) had local & freeway express segments in those days.
They broke down from engine overheat quite a bit, The yard for the RTD double deck buses was just down the street on East End in Pomona from the current Foothill Transit Pomona Bus yard
More double deckers needed for the USA..!!! Great view from the upper deck! 😀👍
