Leyland Tiger PS1 / Park Royal #CFN 104
5 april 2009 - Cobham (UK. The East Kent Road Car Company was (as the name suggests) the major bus and coach operator in east Kent. Services also ran to London and to cities in Europe, using the cross-channel ferries. This was a dual purpose vehicle, used either on the express service to London or as a coach. East Kent buses never carried fleet numbers. The Tiger PS1 was really the final flowering of the British half-cab single deck coach.

11 april 2010 - Cobham, Surrey (UK). Three pictures to illustrate the development of UK express coaches serving London in the 1950s and 1960s. This 1948 Leyland Tiger PS1 was typical of the early 1950s, when demand for services was very high, as few people had their own car. The East Kent routes to the coast were particularly busy on summer weekends, when any bus that could move was pressed into service as an ‘extra’. This particular coach ran daily, though, to the famous Victoria Coach Station (which is still in operation).
