....one of the THX_S batch for London Buses by what we can see of the registration plate, which would make it a late 1977 or early 1978 bus |

The name should be separated out: Leyland as make, National as model. |

As far as I know Leyland-National was the name of the company/maker. A new company set up to make a single model bus. A bus expert ![]() "The Leyland National was the result of a joint venture by the National Bus Company (NBC) and Leyland Bus – hence the name Leyland National. The aim was to produce a revolutionary single deck bus for use in National Bus Company fleets and beyond. A massive factory in Workington was constructed to make the bus with annual production of 2000 units per year expected."
