Two Leyland buses from different eras. The first taken in 2010 at the West Somerset Railway Steam Gala; the second taken at this year's Shuttleworth Season Opener air display.
This leaves Seaton at 10:00 Monday to Friday, arriving at Exeter Bus Station at 11:10. It then sets off home at 13:40, arriving back in Seaton for 14:50. It doesn't quite duplicate Stagecoach's (roughly hourly) 9A service...
Way off course! Coastliner 700-liveried Stagecoach South bus, operating on the S3 route from Oxford to Charlbury. Leaving Oxford Railway Station, 14 Sep 2023. Eh!?
Here a few pictures "coaches" not buses that my late father used to drive for Premier Albanian from Watford back in the late 70's early 80's He always said he was a coach drive rather than a bus driver.
This Coach below was an interesting vehicle , as it was on test from Bedford and had a turbo engine that the company had to keep strict records on and report back to GM on.
My suspicions about what that is prompted me to investigate and find I was correct...
It's actually a former London Transport Leyland National 2 which used to serve on the Red Arrow routes in the centre of the city.
There's a 1991 photo of it (not mine I should add) on the 503 on New Oxford Street here.
In 1993 it was rebuilt by East Lancs coach builders with a 'Greenway' body and then re-registered and operated with Mass Transit of Lincoln for a few years before being acquired by Northampton College.
Wow @Musicman , that's really impressive that you could find out all that! Well, it's now sitting in a field behind the Northampton & Lamport Railway heritage line/museum just north of Northampton.
Continuing the other theme of ex-London buses operating elsewhere, an ex-London Transport short wheelbase Bristol LH on a Mountain Goat service, also at Ambleside the same day
