A LEYLAND NATIONAL FLASHBACK

Today is another welcome back for the flashback, as there seems to be very little happening on the Suffolk scene oh to be in Norwich! First picture shows a late model series one Leyland National LN 587 WAH 587S which later became an East Lancs National Greenway convert in the mid 1990's and of course is now preserved in deregulation Eastern Counties Post Office Red in Norfolk, you can see by the picture how much has changed in the Old Cattle Market in Ipswich behind is the Plough pub. Below is the second ever Leyland National LN 539 HVF 539L initially like many of it's type experienced teething problems indeed some were off the road for at least three years, here shes on special duties in Norwich in her first year in service, most were Norwich career Buses although a few in later years travelled south down to Ipswich in the early 1980's, final picture shows the National 2 type with LN 617 PEX 617W seen in Norwich in the later days of her career in the First Blue Bus livery applied to Buses in Great Yarmouth after the takeover.
