Leyland Fleetline FE30AGR
ECW H43/32F
A June 1981 view shows this vehicle on its way to Bangour Hospital with service 199. Service 199 took over from the 144 service, (originally Edinburgh to Mid Calder via Kirknewton, then from 1978 East Calder to Bangour), and was rerouted Kirknewton to the hospital upon the opening of Livingston Bus Station in March 1979.
Note the lack of depot code and absence of fleet names.
The sign on the verge to the front of the bus was a route direction sign. With the alteration of services around the new town of Livingston, these were seen on the approaches to many of the road junctions. The sign on the lamppost at the junction behind the vehicle denotes the new access to MOD 324 engineer park. Now long gone, this had seven large sheds housing many different types of construction machinery for the Royal Engineers. It also had railway sidings and loading ramps situated between the two rows of sheds.
