Description
The London LS: The Leyland National Bus in London Service By Matthew Wharmby In 1973, London Transport introduced six Leyland Nationals to its fleet, marking a significant shift from the AEC Merlin and Swift buses that had previously dominated the city's roads. The decision proved shrewd, as the LS class went on to become an integral part of London's public transportation network. Over the next decade, London Transport expanded its order for Leyland Nationals, bringing the total number of vehicles in service to 437 by the mid-1980s. The buses proved reliable and straightforward, often standing in for double-deckers when needed. Although they were eventually replaced by minibuses at the end of the 1980s, refurbishment programs extended their lifespan, giving rise to the National Greenway. This book provides a detailed look at the London LS, including its history, development, and impact on London's transportation network.
