This is a Leyland PD1/1 with Alexander bodywork built in 1946 (almost) entirely to a standard Leyland design. Its original owner was the City Coach Company of Brentwood which was sold to the nationalised Westcliff-on-Sea Motor Services in 1952. It passed to Eastern National when it absorbed the Westcliff fleet in 1955 and the bus was converted to open-top in 1958. It (and many others) were at a bus rally sponsored by the nearby Castle Point Transport Museum on the occasion of its annual open day.
