johnfromstaffs ◊ 2011-04-17 19:32	Thomas Tilling owned the Brighton, Hove and District Omnibus Company Ltd, as part of its expansion resulting from its being restricted to only 150 buses in the capital. It is therefore possible that the early Regent 1s with London registrations were previously operated in London, but won't have been STLs as none of these was built with an open rear staircase. ST is possible, however.
