Your Welcome.
I think I've got it worked-out now regarding capturing and posting images.

The Bedford OB/Duple Vista is HOD75 of Mervyns Coaches, which has appeared in several films and TV shows, including 'End of the Affair', 'Last of the Blonde Bombshells', 'Foyle's War'.
The London Transport'decker is an RTL-class, a Leyland Titan PD2/1; the STL-class was either AEC Regent or AEC Regent II. If I can get to see it myself, I'll id the vehicle precisely.

sannells....your right, of course it's an RTL, that's what I meant to say. I first looked at the ST before spotting the difference in the number of side windows and found the RTL. I based this on this webpage http://www.countrybus.org.uk/RT/RTL.htm
Thanks for pointing it out...sorry.

Really not a problem - I knew about the OB; I didn't know about the RTL till I saw your captures - any chance of getting the fleet number on the side of the cab?
Incidentally, the OB, HOD75, has been in several films - for example it was in 'The End of the Affair' (the Julianne Moore version) along with a similar blue OB, registration GWV101, they were also filmed for 'Enigma' with Kate Winslet, along with a Leyland Tiger ENT778. (We'll overlook the fact that all three are post war coaches and shouldn't have appeared in a war time film) The director decided that three coaches in the shot made it look too busy, so HOD75 was moved out of shot and out of the movie!

I think there's no chance of reading the fleet number I'm afraid.... the quality of the DVD is not that good. It's barely possible to see it's location.

Seeing the size of the pictures it looks more like a VideoCD than a DVD
