A Rare Event


This bus wouldn't run dispite the advert on the side and had to be towed back to the yard. Not something you see every day.

  1. I'm not surprised, looks like a Leyland. Knowing Stagecoach and our local Leylands which have left now, that ws something you saw all the time as they never bothered to fix them! The only one I'm aware of that survived is with Carousel of High Wycome

  4. According to a fleetlist I looked at, it's an Olympian with a Northern Counties body. A 'G' reg'd so fairly old. What's the betting that if it's anything serious, it won't be repaired.

    Ahh, Cambridge had several of these, but with recessed back windows and a number plate behind its own little window as well. Very comfy but I will always remember the one that had a broken retarder so it stopped jerkily and the upper deck stank of p*iss.

  6. Not that rare in Thanet, but it's usually a Scania on the end!
