Cheers! I learned lot from Buses magazine which I started reading at the age of five.

When I was dating a girl from Preston many years ago we used to frequent a pub/club called the Leyland Tiger.
Just thought you might enjoy that bit of trivia

I’ve been to Leyland a few times and have heard many stories about the Leyland Tiger. Something of a legend there!
It had long since closed by the time I first visited, however.
There is the Leyland Lion however; a Weatherspoons pub. I prefer The Gables though. Just down the road and a very friendly pub.

The Leyland Tiger was demolished around 99/2000. There are houses on the site today. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I had my last drink there

Top of my road whilst out shopping spotted the following vintage buses.
All part of this event for the British Legion.
They all looked in excellent condition. In fact the RM looked like it was fresh out of Aldenham Works.

Yes, no ECE design and construction regulations followed here; however wooden framed coaches were manufactured in the UK until the early 'seventies! 
Edit: Plaxtons of Scarborough used wood in their body frames until 1978!
Fuck!

Fuck. I remember vehicles similar to these brand fucking new fresh from delivery with paper taped to the gangway floor…
I can still remember the smell. And in some cases, Type Training people on what would have been the biggest vehicle they’ve driven in some cases.
Looking at 06 and 58 plate vehicles and thinking that is too new to be scrapped!
