Description

What better way to enjoy the sights of the Essex coast than by open top bus.

Route 68 in Southend is operated by Ensignbus and 2021 is the second year they have run the seasonal route popular with tourists and locals alike.

Normally, large red modern open top buses provide the service, but on occassions heritage buses are also used.

Owen found out more from driver Michael Botton before taking a trip on the open topper.
