East Kent Leyland National at Whitstable

I didn't mind the Mark2 buses but I wasn't really much of a Leyland National fan especially as they just appeared from out of nowhere replacing all the interesting stuff some of it not even old and were so deathly dull and lacking in any real character in those unimaginative NBC colours. After Deregulation there was in certain quarters a return of sorts to the way things used to be in the Sixties and it was glorious to see East Kent  buses back in the traditional dark red and cream colours. That even applied to the Leyland National too like this one picking up just outside Whitstable where I used to stop for breakfast at a cafe. The bus was on the main road to Canterbury.
