Leyland National 50 - Whitehaven Marina

A weekend of events at Whitehaven Marina to celebrate 50 years since the first Leyland National bus rolled off the production line at the Lillyhall manufacturing plant. Workington Transport Heritage Trust were the organisers of the event with busses coming from all over the country. There was a continental market, stalls, exhibits and free bus rides. Join me for a look around this well organised and interesting event.

    I remember Layland buses in South Africa in mid 70 s for the route between Harding and Bizana

    Lovely video Paul. Also you were spot on a while back saying Cumberland was returning. Indeed Cumbria is in fact being abolished in 2023 and the great Counties of Cumberland and Westmorland (Furness added to it) are coming back for good, happy days!

    Enjoyed the video Paul. Something about bus rides that brings out the kids in us. Yes, it definitely has to be the top deck and at the front if possible. Interesting fact for you. Keith is originally from Warrington. Warrington Corporation had to have specially made buses to go around town, because one of the main routes had a road that was too narrow to take normal width buses.

    Sorry to hear that Paul. It’s a shame that some can’t behave themselves in public.
