About Leyland Atlantean

Leyland Atlantean Bus, designed and made by Leyland Motors, Leyland near Preston, Lancashire. This bus design was radical and innovative and transformed the shape of buses in the UK and all over the world. With its rear engine and front doors next to the driver it enabled single crew operation on a double decker. The drivers and conductors weren't happy originally. In some places it was operated by a full driver and conductor crew for several years. This bus held 78 passengers which was large for the time and the first entered service in December 1958 and 2008 sees 50 years of the Leyland Atlantean bus, once the backbone of many bus fleets across the UK.
