It appears to be vaguely Routemaster-like.
Nay, nay and thrice nay!
Bristol VRT SL3, with Eastern Coachworks body.
I think these buses were never used in London, but were common in Manchester
and other provincial cities.
They were used in London. When Eastern National (later Thamesway) won
tenders on LT routes they used VRs. The 193, 20, 275, 359 and 307 all
had them. Ensign Bus also used the odd one of two on some commercial
services in Romford and Eastern National and London Country used them on
commercial services from Essex into East London.
