Red Rover AEC Renown & Leyland National
Waiting at the back of the Red Rover yard in Aylesbury is 161, none less than former London Transport LS1, LT's first Leyland National.
 
Red Rover Leyland National 161
Freshly painted, the first in a new - and final - version of the Red Rover livery, 161 is about to leave the Aylesbury yard to attend the Cardiff 1985 Bus Rally. The blind is set to "Day Tour" and Traffic Manager, the late Chris Day, is behind the wheel.
 
Red Rover Leyland National LS1 & Cardiff Bristol VRSL3 Alexander 339
Cardiff all over advert bus Alexander bodied Bristol VRTSL3 339 (WTG339T) was on display by City Hall at the Cardiff Bus Rally back in 1985 alongside Red Rover newly acquired Leyland National 161 (TGY101M). Being a dual door 10.3 metre model it was similar to Cardiff's own National fleet.
 
Red Rover Leyland National 161
Back in Aylesbury and out earning money, 161 passes Keith Garages on the commercially operated Sunday Countrybus 22. At the wheel is jovial Red Rover inspector Tony Lawrence. The bus was later used by Ensignbus as their 502, being bought by them in 1988 but ended up with Galleon/Trustline in Hertfordshire the following year and was sadly scrapped in 1990.
 
Parfitt's Leyland National BYW427V
Back in South Wales, Parfitt's of Rhymney Bridge was another operator of ex London Nationals and LS427 (BYW427V) is seen in Merthyr Bus Station squeezing between another National and a Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Tiger.
