A double-take on British roads for Hong Kong residents

It would be quite a shock for Hong Kong residents to see a CMB bus destined for Kennedy Town on British roads, but it is possible thanks to UK bus preservationists. These two were pictured in the UK in 2012. It is interesting how many owners they appear to have had over the years during their lives shuttling between the UK and HK and back to the UK.

Places shown in this photo: 
KCR Terminus, TST [1916-1978]
Alex. Ross & Co. garage / TST Post Office (3rd location) [c.1929-????]
Former Kowloon / Terminus Firestation [1920- ]
Fire Brigade's drill and hose drying tower, TST [1923-????]

A familiar view. The bus appears to be a British 'Tilling-Stevens' with centre access for passengers. The curved flash on the body is unusual. The yard opposite has a tower structure that look like it is a fire brigade hose drying tower. The fire brigade building is bottom right and still there today as a 'Shanghai Tang' shop complete with some fire brigade implents on display showing its heritage.
