Looks like a 'better then normal' replica LGOC B-Type, but I cannot find it, if it still exists.![]() A real preserved B-Type |

I'm sorry, I can't help with that. The scene begins by showing the upper section, mostly: ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2020-09-28 21:47:45 |

In that case I can be of no further help. |

Here's an idea: is it 946WAE, which is actually a Bedford VAM and now with Ensign? Check out https://cbwmagazine.com/premier-reunion/image-3-20/ . Other replica B-types are around, but this is one of the more travelled ones. -- Last edit: 2020-09-28 22:50:56 |

The wheels and tyres don’t match, Steve. |

... yes too many detail differences in the body as well. The Bedford replica has different 'brackets' for the overhanging cab roof and the movie bus has a fully glazed centre section behind the cab (probably preferred for tourist use). The wheels and particularly the tyres look to represent the solid tyres quite well. I'm guessing they have wheel covers possibly over-sized. The front wings appear to be too rounded in section very unlike a 1910s-era bus. It lacks a 'GENERAL' bus company name replaced with a smaller crest. ![]() |

I believe its found 1919 Thronycroft J with LGOC Dodson body Also here therefore not a replica. ![]() Found after recognising the typical Thornycroft style wheels. -- Last edit: 2020-09-29 20:12:43 |

The bus itself was originally from and preserved by Portsmouth Corporation and at the time 'quite often brought out on special occasions in its correct, at the time, red and white livery', from old-bus-photos.co.uk So it didn't have far to travel as the filming Location was the Theatre Royal, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England.
