I’m sure there must have been plenty of posts on here in the past concerning Top Deck Travel but I found these photos and the account of his travels by Butch Hyslop interesting. Many thanks to him for sharing them.

The first photo was taken in Kathmandu 78/79 when Top Deck had seven busses there for Xmas and New Year. Butch also said the company owned about sixty busses of which only half could go on the long trips due to bottoming out problems.

Weren’t the Top Deck fleet mostly Bristol Lodekkas?

I think later ones were. I reckon Corgi is missing a trick by not producing 1:50 Top Deck Lodekkas to run alongside Tekno’s Middle-East range of 1:50 scale trucks!
