New in 08/1979, it is seen here at Leyland Vehicles HQ on what was either the 1st. June or 8th. June 1980 at what I think was the Bus Driver of the Year Area Finals also coinciding with a vehicle road run and rally. 7074 looks to be reversing into a 'garage'. I put this bus down as the title to the photo as it as nearest the camera, however to the right is something more interesting in South Yorkshire PTE(SYT), 2010, FHE293V, a Leyland-DAB artic. It is seen here with trade plates 887CK and devoid of fleetnames suggesting it had yet to be delivered. Again, after looking at 'flikr' it would seem to be giving rides around the test track, but I can't say if I travelled on it or if it was invites only as this was 37 years ago! I've lost a few brain cells since then but I'm sure I would have had a run on it given the chance!
The film used was Agfa Colourslide with the camera being a Praktica MTL3.
I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 1980.
