Lets see how buses in the Potteries and Ribble areas were run and operated! 
My (actual) High School Bus in 1973…
Leyland Worldmaster 908.
…and yes, they advertised tobacco on school buses 
Cheers for sharing that! I’m really jealous! Worldmaster was too heavy for UK operators, so we had Leopards instead. Looks like someone has half-inched the Tiger emblem!
Anyhoo, Worldmaster was sold on every continent from 1954 to 1979. I think total production (including Royal Tiger) was around 25,000 units! 
A blast from my childhood. Yelloways coaches, usually meant a school trip, a trip to Blackpool or heaven forbid a mystery tour that ended up in Southport or Morcambe.
Didn’t need sitcom in those days mind.
This morning Bury interchange.
It’s fucking working now. Great video, this…
This made me lol
A bus journey with a difference
I’ve driven Sir Peter Hendy’s bus a couple of times. It is a Leyland RTW.
They were the first 2.5M wide buses in London and had to have special dispensation to operate there.
Nice to drive, especially that example. Lots of work goes into keeping it in tip top condition!
@MonitorGold10 will probably have been their in-house consultant
It would be an affront if he wasn’t!
Question for our resident expert.
Most journeys on the New Routmaster/Bus for London/Boris Bus/Overpriced pile of shit are reasonably smooth. However sometimes they are really rough/jerky and wonder if that due to the driver, or an issue with the drive train/pnumatic suspension.
Hmmm.
I honestly don’t know. We don’t have any of these at our place. I will find out for you and get back to you. 
Just saw one of these go tearing past in Brixton.
Wut?
Optare bus → fire brigade command and control conversion?
Fancy, we have this one around here:
Always good for a pot noodle or can of coke when stuck on a scene guard or stopping people getting too close.
I look forward to seeing one of those reeking of weed and with an impressively shit mural on it somewhere in Cornwall in the 2030s.
Fascinating build process!
