Judging by a photo I found on Flickr, this vehicle has been parked here for at least three years, though the painting of (presumably) Jimi Hendrix on the side is a more recent addition. The bus, C673 LJR, is an example of the latter day standard bus of the National Bus Company, a Leyland Olympian with lowheight bodywork by Eastern Coachworks; however, being new to Northern General, this bus differed from the NBC norm in being fitted (as all of Northern's later Olympians were, I believe) with a Cummins L10 engine and Voith automatic gearbox. Even if those items are still present, the bus does not look particularly mobile.
