Re: Leyland National buses

Some smaller bus operators do actually still use Leyland Nationals

One of the more popular buses now are the DAF Optares the size of a mini-bus ideal on small country lanes

Wow - really! They must be preserved ones I guess yeah?

I always liked the Mark 2s better than the Mark 1s - loved the Pod the Mark 2s more often than not had - which made them stand out better than the Mark 1s I think!

This Leyland National was photographed at Barry transport festival a couple of years ago. It displays the X8 Maerdy - Cardiff Express service. It was discontinued to be replaced by the X32 Maerdy - Cardiff Express Service. This has also been discontinued due to low passenger use.
