door conversions |

Left:
One of the largest conversions to single door layout was that of London
Transport DMS's. One such, Western Scottish E1 (THM671M),
is seen at Johnstone in August 1981. This DMS was evaluated by
Western before they went on to buy 31 more in 1982/83. |

Arriva Guildford & West Surrey have converted many Metrobuses, originally
used in London, for more rural operation. Their GYE457W
is seen at Kingsfold on the (93) from Horsham to Dorking in March 2001. |

Glasgow and its successors were obsessed about not operating two door
vehicles. Greater Glasgow PTE spent most of the late 1970's
converting hundreds of Atlanteans to single door. However from
the ashes of the Larkfield Depot fire in 1992 rose the specter of two door
vehicles in the shape of hired double deckers from other
operators. The surreal notice on WTS259T from Tayside
reads "This is not a door - No entrance". July 1992. |

| Above: Lothian had a unique
batch of two door Leyland Lynxes. They recently sold most of
them to Rossendale, who converted them to single door layout.
Seen in Rawtenstall depot with all its sisters on Good Friday 2001 is H182OSG. |
