Lancaster City Transport 162 NRG162M Leyland Atlantean AN68/1R - Alexander AL

In the throws of de-regulation of bus services, Lancaster received a motley collection of second-hand double-deckers. New to Aberdeen Corporation(162), in 12/1973 as a dual-doored vehicle passing to Grampian Regional Transport(162) under local-government re-organisation in 04/1974 being converted to single-door layout at somepoint with Grampian(See comment below kindly supplied by Ian R. Simpson), it is seen here at Lancaster Bus Station in what I think is October/November 1987. Immediately behind is Ribble 2118, OFV18X, an ECW bodied Leyland Olympian ONLXB/1R, new to then NBC controlled company in 12/1981. Both buses were heading to the University.

 

The camera being a Praktica MTL3.
