Land of the Humming Bird
PTSC Trinidad operated many Leyland buses in the heyday of the British manufacturer. A large batch of Leyland national 2s followed some mk1s and many were still operating until recent times. During the later years some received DAF engines extending their lives on the Island. This photograph is taken in Port of Spain the capital, of No 1168 operating a service out to Carenage. Once out of the main city area the roads deteriorated often into unmade tracks on some routes resulting in these vehicles having difficult hard torturous lives. The nearside wiper was considered an unnecessary luxury, as indeed were windows but this one did retain most. "Thomas" buses with cummins engines were popular after the leylands although I believe the company are now onto the Yutong craze.
