Lothian was unique in ordering it's Leyland Lynx buses with a centre exit, but this didn't gaurantee them a long and eventful life at the Scottish Capital as they had barely reached mid-life before they were quickly sold some noteworthy examples finding their way to the rapidly expanding Rossendale Transport.
This particular bus went to Brylaine of Boston, instead of Rossendale Transport, and has recently returned north for preservation. Whilst with Brylaine, it lost its centre door. This will be returned to the bus as part of its restoration.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Steven. I'm glad one of these unique two-door Edinburgh Lynx buses has been preserved as not only were Mk2's not so common the Lothian examoles were particuarly attractive.
