I think there's still a few floating around North Wales with the independent operators such as Express Motors, Clynnog & Trefor and Alpine Travel obviously on school work. Arriva has an open top one running out of Rhyl. Not too sure how often it is out in service, if you're very lucky it might get used on the 12 (Rhyl-Llandudno) service during the summer!

According to last month's Buses, Arriva's open top VR has recieved an electronic destination display, so it's safe for a while i would think.

A VRT with Led's now that is bizzare. BVRES site is good but unsure if it's up to date.

Wonder if anyone has details on ones York had in the 90's.
I know of PUM148/9W and PWY38/41W but unsure on others.
