This bus is neat, I wasn't aware that this was even allowed. I thought they must have screwed this listing up but the numbers on the front of the bus and the back are the same. I have never seen a conventional like this.

Have a nice day bluebirdvision

Yeah, that's a rear luggage compartment, it's rare but still available as an option. That's gotta be a sweet bus to drive, DT466/5sp/air.

Where I grew up in NY, we had a few Blue Bird Internationals like this back in the late 1980s and a few TC/2000s in the early '90s with this rear end as well. Its not a very common spec.

^ That sure is a different WL start button. They used a warning light indicator for the switch that activates the ambers

I believe that's Blue Bird's version of the FL warning light "Select" switch. FL requires a 3-position switch to select off, amber, or red, instead of the momentary amber "Start" switches used in most other states.

So, this means that the driver pushes the "RED" part of the switch to activate the Red Warning lights when the door is closed

According to a Thomas wiring manual I acquired a while back, the diagram for the FL warning light option appears to use 2 switches, a master and select switch. Any time the master is on, driver can select "off", "amber", or "red". "Red" activates the red lights and stop sign regardless of the door position. However, if the master is on and the door is opened with the select switch in "off" or "amber", the red lights flash, stop sign stays in, and a buzzer warns the driver that the door is open but the switch is in the wrong position.

Is there anyone from FL who can verify this?
