The model -
details of this model were added to the site on 2nd March 2009, thanks
to Andrew Shirley. I am currently unable to establish when this model was
issued. Two separate decal sheets are provided giving the owner a choice
of vehicle identities and routes (see below).
The bus
- KMB ordered 100 Seddon Mk17s which were delivered in 1957/58. With a
front engine, the bus had two entrances/exits, one behind the front axle
the second behind the rear wheels. Sliding gates were fitted to both. The
vehicles were withdrawn between 1969-71.
