In the early 'sixties if you took a train from London to Birmingham at weekends you went from Paddington via Banbury and Leamington Spa and arrived at the splendid old Snow Hill station. Once electrification of the West Coast Main Line was complete, Snow Hill was run down, closed in 1972 and eventually demolished but was rebuilt and reopened as a very different place in 1987.
This bus was probably new in around the 60s to Edinburgh Corporation.
seen here at South Queensferry.
Eastern scottish had a spell of a shortage of buses and bought Leyland PD2s from Edinburgh Corporation.
Leyland PD2/3, with Leyland body. New 1950. It was one of the RTWs involved in 8ft wide width testing. Taken a few years after it’s 1961 Aldenham overhaul and showing some scars. After here, spent rest of it’s life, up to 1970, as a trainer. Sold on to UK company.
One has to wonder what an 8ft wide AEC London RT would have looked like. Generally AECs of the species had a more refined look. Although AEC was not short of making some very mean looking trucks. Reference. Ian's Bus Stop RTWs.

A Matthew Brown brewery 'Lion Ales' pub behind. The brewery is long gone. Their beer wasn't really very good (IMO!) - but you can bet your life it was better than whatever rubbish the multinationals foist on the locals now - assuming the pub is still open.

The Titan series of buses were forward control, front engined double deck bus chassis manufactured by Leyland Motors (UK) between 1927 and 1969 (with a production break between 1942 and 1945). A number of different companies manufactured bodies for these chassis. The PD2 version first appeared in 1946.

Many thanks to Andrew McCormick for this shot of privately preserved 1954 all-Leyland PD2 GM6384 (ex Central SMT L484) being turned right from Highburgh Road southbound onto Byres Road, Glasgow, by owner driver.

trying to bond with my aubrey, i gave her a little trim. I think makeup is a must - she looks so pale and bored. I think her skintone isn't quite right for her, she might have to swap hair with saffy.
you can see the bed side of the bedroom here - the girls on the wall and the comforter are my experiments with printing my own fabric.
