The Leyland National

If the Daimler Fleetline is my favourite double-decker bus, the Leyland National is my favourite single decker. The bus was developed by Leyland and the National Bus Company as a standard bus to replace huge fleets of ageing buses. Although the National was not without some problems, it did become a great success with thousands built and serving well into the 2000s.

This book is a collection of scores of photographs of the National hard at work with many different bus companies, the National Bus Company themselves and many others. If you like Leyland Nationals (as i do) then there are many photos here to enjoy.

So, that all seems great of course but there is a problem with the book in that the selection is a bit all over the place. The book might be better if there was more of a theme followed. That is a small criticism though. This is a lovely collection of photographs of one of the best buses.

How about a few photographs i have taken of Nationals?
