ORR333 was a 1954 Leyland PSUC1/1 with Saunders Roe B44F body, new to East Midland as fleet no. R333. It passed to the County Donegal Railway in Ireland in 5/65 but by the time this view was taken of it in Strabane in August 1969 it was nearing the end of its life, being withdrawn and sold for scrap later in the year.

56. OUP667
Sunderland District received thirteen Saro B44F bodied Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/1's in 1954 as part of a larger BET order. Considerd by many to be the most attractive of the early 50's designs, their appearance was enhanced by the lovely SDO livery. 270, OUP667, is seen laying over in Manors bus park with the blind set for the return jouney home.
