Toast with a glass of Port: A classic Leyland in Porto

After Portugal's bloodless revolution one of the things the Socialists did was to Nationalise many of the private bus companies. Those with less than fifty buses managed to escape the purge though and as there were a large number of smaller concerns in the Porto area the rush hour scene was not spoilt by the ever pervasive orange and cream RN fleet. My favourite buses have always been Leylands and particularly examples which carried those Leyland hub-guards and of course the legendary cast-metal cat badges.
