Identify THIS ex-DB RH (!)

If you've ever ever felt that you commute on buses so much that you practically live in them... (Yes, an ex-DB RH is featured ):

UK Couple turn a double decker bus into a home.

An opening for DB with surplus stock.

What type of a driving license would you need for this over here?

"A cash strapped property hunter has turned his back on the housing market by making his family home out of a double-decker BUS.
Daniel Bond, 28, spent four gruelling months and £11,000 turning the neglected vehicle into a luxury two bedroom home. The self employed auto-electrician was desperate to move in with girlfriend, Stacey Drinkwater, 20, but the young couple were left stumped by 'ridiculous' house prices".

this basically. Have seen plenty over here. In fact I suppose I could go and photo 3 of them for yis, they do look kind of cool. One double decker and a couple of coaches. I see some interesting truck converts over here from time to time too, the best so far is somebody simply tying a caravan down onto the back of a flatbed with cargo straps

Poster asked if there were more important things to talk about, I personally think grammar's more important than Brits on a bus (not a grammar Nazi)

I was hoping this would bring up the subject of the MK3's

There's an opening in the market to convert these into cheap bungalows.

The point is it is about an ex Dublin Bus bus. You may not like Bus Spotters, but it's (sorry it is) more evidence of the need for seperate Bus Fans Forum on Boards.

Personally I thought it was well worth posting and relevant to C+T as the girl is slightly hot.
