The open top bus service operated by First Somerset and Avon in Weston-super-Mare can trace its roots back to 1950 when its predecessor compnay (Bristol Omnibus) started to operate de-roofed buses along the sea front. 27 July 2013 saw the last day of operation although Crosville Motor Services started a competitive service in 2012 which will continue. It was perhaps fitting that the afternoon turned to rain!
