Description
Three-quarter front nearside view of pay-as-you-board STL-type bus, no STL1793 (reg no DLU11), at a bus stop whilst operating a route 65 service to Kingston. Passengers are waiting to board by the vehicle's central entrance. The anti-blast netting on the upper deck windows can clearly be seen, with the diamond-shaped apertures allowing passengers to see out. The front of the mudguards are painted white to enable pedestrians to see the bus during the blackout.
