Three smart looking double-deckers at Ulverston in about 1980. I for one thought ECW bodies with white window rubber gaskets looked a lot brighter and much better on NBC corporate red and green and was most attractive. Not that I was a big fan of the National Bus Company though after the wealth of fine liveries that it replaced but somehow certain bus companies retained a certain sparkle and individuality. Amongst the reds, whereas Potteries and East Kent started to look somewhat dowdy, Ribble and Trent always maintained a smart fleet. In the centre questionably looking more modern than the two more conservative looking ECW Bristol VR's of 1972 displaced from Carlisle Nos 2000 and 2001 was a 1967 Leyland Atlantean by Northern Counties. This batch of fifteen buses with their panoramic screens saw a lot of service up towards the The Lakes.
