East Lancs differences.
These two very different East Lancs bodied buses are seen here on display at a rally in Keighley, in 19/06/2005. On the right of the photo and obviously the elder of the two is preserved Plymouth City Transport, 168, TTT168X, a Leyland Atlantean AN68C/1R. This was delivered in the final batch of ten, 162-71, TTT162X etc., in 12/1981. The following three numerically numbered buses delivered to the south-west municipal were 172-4, TTT172-4X, being East Lancs bodied Leyland Olympian ONLXB/1R's. They were delivered in 03/1982. Alongside the Atlantean, and a very much different beast is Yorkshire Traction, 802, YN54VKB, a Scania N94 UD. This coach seated East Lancs OmniDekka bodied Scania was delivered in a batch of six, 801-6, YN54VKA-F. It later became Stagecoach Yorkshire Traction 15416 and then later passed to Harrogate Coach Travel - Connexions Buses, Tockwith, where it was re-registered UUG384 and still remains in service today.
The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Fujichrome Colourslide.
I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 2005.
