This is in fact our first East Lancs Greenway, a re-built and re-bodied Leyland National carried out by East Lancashire in association with London & Country. Around 176 were produced between 1991 and 1996 and a very low amount survive today. The coach to the left is wearing Plaxton Panther bodywork, presumably on a Volvo chassis. If anyone has an idea on the owner of these three vehicles, it would be much appreciated. |

not much point, the place looked like a junkyard for buses where they are taken apart.... they may not exist anymore but if you really want to find out, you could try GOOGLE EARTH, on the left you can see railway and I could provide more shots from the yard if you really want -- Last edit: 2013-07-26 09:13:44 |

The yard is Empress Coaches depot on Corbridge Crescent in London. The buses on screen weren't part of the Empress fleet, with the exception of the coaches that wear Empress logos |

Having reviewed the footage, the East Lancs Greenway is NIW6152, rebuilt in 1993 as London and Country 352. It was rebuilt from North Western 266 (FCA6X), a 1982 Leyland-National 2. |
