| The model -
Following the simultaneous release of the two 'in service' Dominants in
September 2006 (B0020), two
further examples of
this model were released in Hong Kong in early January. These feature
training
vehicles BH 3013 (Training School) and BH 7644 (Training Unit).
The bus
- KMB took delivery of 100 Duple Dominant MkII bodied Albions during
1975-76.
These coaches were used on urban express services, commanding fares a
great
deal higher than those of the normal services. BH 3013 was withdrawn
from
passenger services in 1983 and entered the training fleet in November
1983.
BH 7644 was also withdrawn in 1983, entering the training fleet in May
1983.
A coloured photograph of the latter can be found on page 266 of Mike
Davis'
excellent reference book Hong
Kong Buses Volume Two - Kowloon Motor Bus.
