Turns out yesterday wasn't so bad after all - compared to today anyway!  Not only was one of the two advertised open top boards again ran by a conventional closed top decker, but 17643 also got took off the 19 mid afternoon, and the 'open top' offering was substituted for a gas bus.  Seems SNE shooting themselves in the foot continuing to push these open top specials on social media as it must be leaving families disappointed when a normal bus rocks up.  You'd have thought they could have got more than one of the four in a serviceable condition for one weekend!
