 An earlier flat screen dual door RELL6G, 1673 (RLJ342H), is seen surrounded by Roe bodied doubledeckers - not what you would expect in a former Tilling fleet. Immediately behind in green, is one of the former Fleetlines ordered by Provincial but delivered to H&D. The other deckers are three of the four lowheight PDR1/2 Atlanteans delivered to King Alfred. Next to 1673 is the first of the quartet 2302 (HOR589E). |
 |
 Whilst the deckers above came through company acquisitions this Alexander Y-type bodied Leyland Leopard was transferred from North Western where it was 146 (AJA146B) and originally used on London-Manchester services. It has become H&D 3096 and as such was modelled by EFE. |
 |
 These oddball machines were transferred from Maidstone & District. The Willowbrook bodied Leyland Panthers were never a popular bus and M&D was probably glad to see the back of them. On a school special is 685 (JKK196E), former Maidstone & District S96. |
 A strange scene outside the Montagu Arms on the London Road, westbound in Langley, near Slough. It appears as though the ex Maidstone & District Leyland Panther had broken down and the ECW bodied MW6G coach, 903 (FEL750D), had been sent to collect the passengers. In attendance is a London Country RF relegated to a recovery vehicle and presumably summoned from the nearby Windsor depot. The Panther is in Tilling red and cream, as it was sent to Wilts & Dorset before the merger. |
 The Langley scene is viewed from the opposite end with a better view of former touring coach 903, normally relegated to bus work. |
