Articulated version of Leyland National
Leyland's subsidiary in Denmark, DAB, produced at least 11 RHD articulated chassis for the British market in 1980-81 and these were bodied utilising a very high proportion of Leyland National body components. Four saw service on a trial basis in Sheffield with South Yorkshire PTE (2007-2010) over an extended period (3-4 years?) from about mid-1980. These were bodied at the Leyland National factory in Workington.
Seven were bought by British Airways in 1981 for inter-terminal passenger transfer at London Heathrow (C305-C311). These were bodied by Charles Roe in Leeds, but looked very similar to the Workington built units.
Two of the Workington built Leyland-DAB articulated buses are in the hands of UK preservationists.
