Traditional 1960s 69 seat double deck buses
The standard Southdown double deck bus of the 1960s were Leyland Titans built with Northern Counties bodies. We have preserved 2 vehicles from this period. Bus number 954 (above left) was built in 1964 to a style little changed from the late 1950s. Yet only 3 years later in 1967, sister bus number 350 sported large 'Panoramic' side windows and a curved-glass front to the upstairs.
Whilst these external details differ, the basic internal layout and design is the same. With 69 seats, (39 upper deck & 30 lower deck), these fine vehicles are a firm favourite with groups and larger wedding parties. Both buses are now truly unique, as they are the last surviving examples of this vehicle type which are still available for hire to the public.
