Lancaster City Council, Leyland Leopard, East Lancs, 103 UTF
Parked inside another now defunct traditional bus garage, is Lancaster City Transport's early Leyland Leopard 103 UTF. Without researching the matter properly, I would say that this would be an L2 chassis type (Pre PSU series) as it's still on eight stud (Tiger Cub wheels) It's body was built not too far away in Blackburn by East Lancs, and still looked pristine when seen here in the early '80's with other later Leopard's for company. When I passed the site of this garage last year, only the grand stone frontage still survived, it's place was about to be taken by... yes you've guessed it, a retail facility.
