Western Scottish L43 (GCS 43V)

1980 Leyland Leopard, Alexander B53F




One of the last of a large number of Alexander Y-type bodied Leyland Leopards bought by Western SMT, L43 entered service in March 1980. In June 1985 it passed to the new Clydeside Scottish company and three years later moved to Highland Scottish at Inverness. Last used by Rapsons, it was purchased for preservation in 2002 and will eventually be restored to the Western SMT London service livery it carried from 1980 to 1986.
