These two fine examples of classic Leyland buses are seen on display near the famous art-deco Midland Hotel, Morecambe, for the RVPT Running Day, on 25/05/2014.

On the left, facing the camera, is 1568, RN7824, a Brush bodied Cheetah LZ2, new in 06/1936, and on the right is 1161, CK4518, a Lion LT2, new in 03/1931. Both made the journey to Morecambe on a lowloader, save for the last 400yds. or so, thus making a fine sight on Morecambe Promenade. Unfortunately, I just missed them arriving. © Peter Steel 2014.
