The White Bus (AKA Red White and Zero) (1966, Anthony Hopkins, dir Lindsay Anderson)
Oddly compelling, shot mostly in black and white, but with some sequences in colour, reminiscent of Anderson's If.... A young woman quits her job in London (cue shots of London traffic).....
....and goes home to Manchester, where she catches the White Bus and goes on a tour of the city. The bus itself is Crosville DLG813 (XFM225), a 1956 Bristol Lodekka LD6G with Eastern Coachworks convertible opentop body.
The angled advertising panels are shown off well here, and notice that although 'Private X' is displayed on the front,'M36' is still wound up at the back:
When the bus stops for schoolchildren to cross the road, a Salford Leyland Titan can be seen behind:
We also see a Manchester Corporation Titan:
There are striking views of the bus among tower blocks:
