SteveA ◊ 2008-03-07 00:53	From the partial fleetnumber I believe it's a DEL-class Dennis Dart with East Lancs body - however the batch was all sold out of London service by 2004, so which one of the 11 in the class it was I don't know.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-07 00:59	The fleet number (next to the indicator light) is DB1039.
SteveA ◊ 2008-03-07 01:37	Been away walking the dog ....then I could be wrong - can you pick out the fleetname on the front? I suspect the fleetnumber is a fake made up for the paint job for the movie. Have a look at http://www.countrybus.org/Dart/DEL.htm I'm reasonably confident it's a step entrance (that is, not low floor) Dennis Dart, but if it's been painted for the movie it needn't even be ex London.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-07 12:47	It's funny, I went to bed just before you posted that! I'm not sure what that fleet name is. (From an extended version of the scene on the DVD) Something Buses. Red---- Buses? Redroute Buses? -- Last edit: 2008-03-07 12:50:24
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-07 12:53	Yes, that's it! http://www.showbus.co.uk/p1/thx105s.JPG
SteveA ◊ 2008-03-07 19:17	....which ought to make it a lot easier, but I'm really struggling to find a Redroute candidate. They're a smallish operator with a lot of secondhand stock. I thought for a while it was L503HKM, which would make it a rarity, a Dennis Dart with Wadham Stringer body, but look at this: - http://graham1740.fotopic.net/p44787728.html - I think the indicator's in the wrong place. If you can review the footage (I recall there's not much to see), you might be able to confirm or deny. -- Last edit: 2008-03-07 19:17:52
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-07 19:22	I don't think it's that one. For one thing, if you look at the main image, the windscreen doesn't curve around the sides.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-07 20:00	The bus appears three times, two very short scenes where Shaun rides it (in the last one he gets off in a traffic jam) and one bit where it drives past (in front of a zombie tramp trying to eat a pigeon). I wonder if these will help a bit: I think it has 8 windows along the side (including the driver's side window and the emergency exit door) -- Last edit: 2008-03-07 20:03:37
SteveA ◊ 2008-03-08 00:28	Aaargh! Dunno - I don't believe it's originally a London vehicle, and I can't identify it with Redroute. I'll have to do some more research....
SteveA ◊ 2008-05-11 14:41	I've seen this sequence again, and gone through it frame by frame, and I'm now reasonably confident it's a Leyland Lynx, not a Dart. Redroute have had three that I could trace, but as you never see anything but part of the side, and I've not been able to identify that fleet number.........
MancBusman ◊ 2022-04-01 17:21	It's definitely a Leyland Lynx mk1 as the off side windscreen slopes into the frame at the top
SteveA ◊ 2024-10-13 00:37	Revisiting this, yes, a Leyland Lynx of Red Route, but I've not been able to identify it from the fleet number DB1039.
