In this instance I suspect one can actually say that the back end of the bus is more interesting than the front. The first production Atlantean in service, FHF451, has long been restored as Wallasey 1 in the unique sea green and cream livery with vintage style of fleetname (since 1983 I believe). In the fine sunshine that blessed the Greater Manchester Transport Society's 2014 event at Heaton Park I couldn't resist a shot which shows the very early style of single piece bonnet fitted to the first Atlanteans. You can't help but notice the huge rear route display!

301. CYS577B
Since its conception in the sixties, the Glasgow urban motorway network has ben opened in stretches, and one of the most "destructive" sections was at the Charing Cross area. This view from 1971, taken from a then unopened flyover, shows the motorway forging its way towards Charing Cross from St George's Cross, with the complete demolition of one side of St George's Road. LA231, CYS577B, from 1964 is on the long gone service 32, a replacement for tram service 16. While the right hand side of the street remains today, no bus service runs along this road.

Leicester bought their second batch of Leyland Atlanteans in 1969 which carried ECW bodies and were PDR1A/1 chassis. They were originally ordered as ECW bodied Leyland Titan PD3s but the order was changed to take advantage of the government's bus grant scheme which offset some of the cost of new vehicles. They had low driving positions giving rise to a rather odd frontal appearance. 103, PBC103G, is seen in the Haymarket Leicester in 1982.
