  • XUS575S is an Alexander bodied Leyland Atlantean which was new in 1977 to Greater Glasgow PTE. A thorough restoration has been carried out of this vehicle by members of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust where it now looks resplendent in the livery of Strathclyde's Buses, a post deregulation formation from Greater Glasgow PTE.
    Join me onboard as we ride from the seafront at Whitehaven to the former Leyland Bus factory site in Workington; a service that is provided as part of the Leyland National 51 event held on the weekend of 29/30 April 2023.

    Those Rear Quarter Inside Lock Catches Remember Braking Towards A Bus Stop Before Partick Cross And In My Nearside Mirror I Could See The Nearside Brake And Indicator As The Corner Detached Itself And Swung Round

      Best of luck with the training. These Atlanteans are a far cry from the buses of today 😢

      @@SirAdamUK Thank you sir i actually passed my test on thursday on a Wright Eclipse/ Volvo B7RLE and i totally agree that modern buses are a far cry from todays, even the newer ADL BYD Enviro EVs are a major departure from the old Diesel engined ones

    Спасибо за то, что я прокатился на автобусе с этим прекрасным зелёным салоном!😊
    Когда вы ехали по территории складов мне в голову пришла ассоциация с передачей Гран Тур и их испытательным полигоном😅

    I bet the bus factory and the bus itself are now crying when they meet each other for the first time after they haven't seen each other for a long time

      They seem to be less common than they used to be. I can't think off the top of my head which operators still use them, if any.

    Мне так же было приятно увидеть на улице несколько классических автобусов, но к сожалению в вашем видео я увидел велосипедиста😂

    Alexander have always built good looking buses for me. But, it sounds quiet for an Atlantean though

      I've certainly heard more raucous Atlanteans than this but it didn't detract from such a nicely restored bus.

      Not the prolonged idling due to excessive dwell times at stops.
      The euros know where it's at with three door buses with all door boarding.
