Converted from STL 1470
| London Transport Country Buses tree pruning equipment vehicle 971J.
CXX 457. This was converted from front entrance STL 1470 by removing
part of the upper deck. These vehicles gave an invaluable service keeping
the highways and byways open for double deck buses. Most of these old routes
could no longer accommodate double deck buses. Many of them haven't seen
a bus of any sort for years.
