West Yorkshire refugee in Ipswich
The slightly awkward lines of an ex Leeds Roe bodied Leyland Atlantean are aided (IMHO) by Ipswich's fabulous traditional high quality livery. The attention to detail with the tramway style fleet numbers aids the dependable appearance of the fleet. I'm not sure of the reasons why UNW 403H and some it's sisters found themselves here around 1980, but it provided additional photographic variety. Across the road from here was another, but still wearing it's former owners colours. AEC swifts had provided the necessary impetus for me to visit, and several can be seen here with a Willowbrook bodied example to the right. Shortly after this I attempted to buy a small number of them for my then employer, but the Municipal fleet wasn't in a position to let them go as they were experiencing delays in delivery and troubles with their replacements. The picture was taken at the famed 'Electric House' terminus.
