A remarkable view of two buses owned by the same operator but with an age gap of 30 years. On the left is no.25, a Leyland National new in 1977, on the right 51 is a Bristol L with Beadle bodywork new in 1947 which somehow managed to survive with its original owner for over 30 years, with a couple of withdrawals and re-instatements. It survived into preservation and in 2022 forms part of a fleet of classic buses in Belgium. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761 Instead of the bus layby, there is now a purpose built bus station at this location https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2404628
