Coaching differences
These two very different preserved Leyland coaches are seen here at The Bus & Coach Show, British Commercial Vehicle Museum, Leyland, on 18/03/2012. Nearest the camera is ex-Jersey Motor Transport, C15, a Leyland Lioness PLC1 that was first registered, in 03/1927, and used as a shooting brake for King George V and the Royal Household. Its Leyland body was rebuilt by Thurgood in 1938 as a 26 seat rear entrance coach for further service in Jersey where it was re-registered J8462. I think this is/was resident at the museum at the time of this photograph. A little further back is is preserved former Hutchison, Overtown, Scotland, EVD580, a Plaxton bodied Leyland Tiger PS1. Preserved in Bee Line, Hartlepool, livery, it was new to Hutchison, in 09/1949. It was latterly preserved in the livery of Wm. Low, Tomintoul, Scotland, an operator it worked for after Hutchison. © Peter Steel 2012.
