What looks like a modern vehicle with quite a queue for a Duxford village tour.
The reality is that this is a preserved 1971 Leyland Atlantean which used to ply the
streets of Bradford - as 465 (TKU465K) - with a doubledeck Alexander body.
It passed to Fylde Transport on the Lancashire coast and they rebodied it with this
Northern Counties body in 1993. It is now owned by the Wheels Museum.

The Golden Jubilee may have been the year before and teh impressive line up of gold
buses from last year are mostly no more, but quite a few survive, not least the
gold RT and RM6. The RT was accompanied by the newly preserved Grey-Green Citybus which
Arriva presented to the Covent Garden Museum on the occasion of the release of
EFE's gold RMLs at the Museum. Also featured is the closed top Stagecoach Lodekka
from the East division. Red Rose's Dart was due to join the gathering, but was replaced
at teh last minute by new Solo RR03BUS, as the Dart (RR02BUS) had been vandalised.
Just visible in the Duxford Tours line up is Maidstone & District banana boat,
AEC Regal I/Beadle OR1. Unfortunately mechanical problems prevented it from
taking a trip.
