Bus number 406 is a Leyland Titan PD3, built in 1964 for the Sussex based Southdown Motor Services. The vehicle was one of a batch of 25 convertible buses fitted with an unusual detachable roof.

In days gone by, the roof would be removed for the summer open-top season and refitted for winter operation. We operate 406 permanently open-top as we have other traditional 1960s closed-top buses available.

406 is the ideal vehicle for an outing with a difference and is a firm favourite for shorter wedding journeys, the Epsom Derby or a family treat! There are 39 seats on the top deck - with just 30 downstairs you may wish to limit numbers to allow for any unexpected showers.

Passenger safety requires open top buses to have 16 feet height clearance and we can help with route planning beforehand. It's definitely worth bearing in mind low trees, bridges, narrow roads and parked cars - all of which might also restrict access to your venue.

If you do find that an open top bus cannot reach your venue, it's worth considering our 1960s coaches as an alternative. With a combined seating of 56 the two coach solution could be just the ticket!

As you might imagine, the open top bus is very popular so please don't hesitate to get in touch at the earliest opportunity.
