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Converted to a one-man-operated vehicle in 1976, it was withdrawn from Portsmouth service in 1980.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Withdrawn from service in 1980
