Anyone know what type of vehicles they're using? The site refers to
some kind of air-conditioned double-decker without toilets - but are
they similar to (or the same as) the Oxford Tube deckers (but those
have bogs - albeit very small ones), or are they of a more bus-like
construction?


Tri-axle Dennis Dragons.

Air-con buses from Hong Kong.


Actually they're ex-Hong Kong tri-axle Olympians. Stagecoach fleetnumbers
13601/2/5 (dating from 1990). The service started with the two F-reg
trix-axle Olympians that were new to Cumberland which, although fully
painted and branded, were only on loan from a Scottish subsidiary as the HK
buses weren't available in time.
