The Bristol Harbourside Bus Rally in 2015 saw a gathering of old Bristol-built open top buses. Sen from the top deck of Western National 1936 (an LDL model registered VDV753) is Brigthon & Hove 927 (a K registered GHT127) and Bristol Omnibus 8569 (an FS registered 869NHT). The first two were built as conventional buses in the 1950ss and 1960s but had their roofs removed for summer services however the latter was built in the early 1960s with a removable roof.
