South Lancs in Leigh G61 GND

The Lancashire town of Leigh might not have been as interesting as in the days when it was served by Lancashire United and of course it's own buses, but even in the Nineties it was worth a visit and one of the interesting current visitors was South Lancs who ran this former Timeline Alexander bodied Leyland Tiger G61 GND. Originally a Shearings bus these rather basic looking buses were bought for their cheapness but they turned out to be exceptional value as not only were they nicknamed by my local company 'Bosnian Tanks' they stood the teat of time too being very solid. Actually I quite liked them when turned out in an attractive livery which broke up the lines a bit.
