Built by Leyland Motors in 10/1934 as a Demonstrator it was then acquired by Lytham St. Annes Corporation. This rare Lion is seen here looking immaculate at another Lancashire coastal resort, Morecambe, when having just arrived at the Mazuma Stadium, the home of Morecambe F.C., during the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust's Morecambe Rally & Running Day, on 19/05/2024. I opted on a ride on this to the stadium. Lovely! Behind, and also immaculate is preserved Fylde Borough Transport, 77 ATD281J, a Northern Counties bodied Leyland Atlantean PDR1A/1. This smart Atlantean was new in a batch of three, 75-7, ATD279-81J, supplied to Lytham St. Annes Corporation Transport, in 11/1970. Tagged on to an order for Nottingham City Transport, hence the design, this Atlantean has recently undergone a thorough restoration and front end rebuild to original design by the Fylde Transport Trust. Fylde Borough Transport was borne out of Lytham St. Annes under local government re-organization on 01/04/1974. It wore this livery in its service days. © Peter Steel 2024.
