Leyland Lioness LTB1 / Burlingham #8
2 may 2010 - Redhill, UK - Brighton Road: The preserved Leyland Lioness of 1929 heads for Brighton on a very wet day - I hope that the canvas roof doesn`t leak! At one time used in the Channel Islands, this bus was hidden away inside a tunnel for five years during the German war occupation and was preserved in the late 1950s, so has been a museum piece longer than it actually ran in service. London Transport inherited a single one of these in 1930 and used it as a country area bus for several years before selling it.

1 may 2011 - Redhill, Surrey (GB) – Brighton Road. Many of you will be pleased to hear that today will be the last set of pictures I’ll post of buses passing my house during this year’s HCVS London to Brighton rally. This is a hugely impressive Leyland Lioness charabanc of 1929, originally supplied to a company in North Wales but later sent to the island of Jersey. When war broke out in 1939, it was hidden in a tunnel for five years, so that the occupying Germans wouldn’t find it. The roof can be removed in good weather.
