Park Royal Vehicles built Leyland Titan T51 (WYV51T) turns out of Wales Farm Road onto the A40. Captured in June 1979 it was out on a test drive. It was delivered to London Transport's Aldenham Works the following month and was sent to Chiswick for experimental work in October the same year. It finally entered service in December 1979 at North Street Garage, Romford. This bus was one of the last built at Park Royal - the factory closed in 1980 after over 90 years of building London's buses. Behind the bus is Leamington Park Hospital which opened in 1905 and would close in 1983. The corner site is currently (2013) open land awaiting development with a housing estate behind.
