LEYLAND NATIONAL RECALL

From the beginning to the end is today's recall, from the first batch of Eastern Counties Leyland National we see LN 548 HVF 548L when brand new with Leyland badge on front, it's amazing to think when i was younger that these buses were somewhat misunderstood and not particularly liked, like any bus they weren't perfect, especially the early ones indeed some of this first batch spent some considerable time off the road in the late 1970's.

And to the very last new to Eastern Counties National's was National 2 LN 628 UVF 628X seen here in Norwich Bus Station when pretty new, the rather fetching dual purpose style livery, Ipswich depot had a series one National painted into this scheme LN 587 WAH 587S which was used a back up for the 792 service to Cambridge.
