Anybody able to identify the white double decker which appears at 8.45 and is on the thumbnail image ? It appears to be an East Lancs Cityzen Scania N113 DRB from around 1999 operating a school service for G H Watts. The registration plate is not clear enough and it was filmed early morning late autumn.
