James Hall & Co are a family based business who operate as the primary wholesaler to SPAR retailers throughout the North of England. They have decorated ten of these double decker Spar branded trailers with rainbows of hope, in support of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and NHS staff up and down the country.

Calypso Transport who trade as Citibus operate at least a couple of these. As can be seen here, they have fold-back sun roofs. Quite what Citibus do with all their buses amazes me. Although when there's a Cruise Ship or two in town, the population increases, Gibraltar doesn't seem big enough! It is seen here on North Mole Road in the British colony on 21/08/2019. These tend to operate on service 5 to Frontier where they actually cross the airport runway! © Peter Steel 2019.
