| Following the release of the
Best Choose China Motor (CMB) Bus Guy Arab MkV (02046S)
with the diorama of Shek O bus terminus (see photo at botton of page),
regular contributor Donald MacRae kindly sent me a couple of photos he
took at the terminus in October 1995. These show China Motor Bus Leyland
Victory Mk2 LV138 leaving the terminus and heading back to Shau Kei Wan
on Route 9.
Having visited Shek O myself in November 2002, it prompted me to look out the photos l took. The Victory's of CMB had gone, as had the company itself! Plenty of low floor buses of New World First Bus were in evidence, these being short (10.3 metre) Dennis Tridents with a low-height Duple Metsec body, some of which were a only a few months old when photographed. |
