Trent 319, VCH319G, was one of ten Willowbrook B45F bodied Leyland Leopard PSU3A/4R new in May 1969.
They were delivered as B49F but altered to B45F before entering service and becoming the first new vehicles in the fleet specifically fitted for one-man operation. It reverted to B49F in March 1971, along with another seven of the batch, the other two being so treated later. All ten initially passed to Paul Sykes Organisaton Ltd, Barnsley (dealer), 319 in December 1980 and then, nine of the ten, 319 included, went on, via CIE (as purchasing agents), to Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway Co, Londonderry, in June 1981, where 319 became 204 and was re-registered 204 CZO. It was withdrawn in August 1987 and sold by May 1993.
