Edinburgh Corporation Transport - line up of new Leyland Titan PD2/20 buses, with MCW bodywork, 1954

This photo is entitled a line up of the partial delivery of Leyland buses (100 in the order) in storage ready for the conversion of the Corstorphine tram routes - the 12, 25 & 26. LFS 401 to 420 are here - they formed part of an order that was to serve the city for over 20 years, although they were famously described as 'monsterous masses of shivering tin' at the time. Someone has assiduously set the blinds so that the service number matches the fleet numbers! It appears in the Corporation Transport Department's annual report for 1953/54.
