Had interesting rear door not normally seen on UK busses. Additional door/s on the 'offside' suitable for driving on right. Am advised Busses used were 1938 AEC Regent STL and single deckers on other routes were cca 1937 AEC Regal.

All 65 postwar STD type buses were sold to Yugoslavian companies, most had their staircases and platforms reversed and some got entrance doors behind the cabs.
