Leyland “Atlantean” PDR1/1 BBK 236B number 236
Owned by: Portsmouth 236 Group
Converted to a one-man-operated vehicle in 1976, it was withdrawn from Portsmouth service in
1980. The bus then ran for a coach operator in Hemel Hempstead until 1987 when acquired for
preservation. Although its then owner did a lot of work on the bus he was unable to complete
the project and it was acquired by the present owners in 1994. Restoration work since then has
involved relining the brakes, replacing the lower panel work, restoring the destination
apertures to their original layout, renewing much of the interior wiring and upper deck
flooring, replacing engine mountings, and finally undertaking a complete repaint inside and
out.
Delivered in 1964 as fleet number 236
Converted to one-man operation in 1976
Withdrawn from service in 1980
