Actually there were two of these open top buses being driven north on the M3 this morning.
They were brand new, right-hand drive, all the seats had covers on them and I guess they’d been collected from the port in Southampton.
I did a google on what I presume is a model number (HFF6121GS-3) on the nearside rear of the bus. Google returns a couple of results which are Chinese pages. Google translate doesn’t do too well with them but the words “Export the London HFF6121GS-3 production planning book preparation” can be seen at one point, whatever that means! I guess the Chinese characters on rear offside are the makers name?
Does anyone know anything about these buses and where they’re destined for?

Hi, i write from Chile. In our contry these buses are very common, maybe Zhong Thong is the brand… However, Chinese buses are arriving all around the world.
Regards from Chile!

This is the Ankai open-top ordered by BigBus to operate in London. Similar buses have already been running for BigBus in Hong Kong
