A personal favourite. - a photo on Flickriver

A personal favourite.

            Probably not what any die-hard Midland Red enthusiast would want to hear said, but of all Midland Red's single deck fleet, I'd say that these LS18 Willowbrook bodied Leyland Leopards were my favourite. Although MR wasn't my local operator, our own PMT had similar Leopards, and identical yet more nimble AEC Reliances of comparable appearance. My place of initial work, Stonier's had the DP/Coach version too on a Leopard chassis, so all in all, I approved.
Last weekend was a busy one as following the outing with the Fleetline in the Saturday (yesterday's post), Sunday saw our little group visit The Battlefield Railway at Market Bosworth for their first ever transport rally. 
Amongst the entrants was this recently restored LS18, 5185 HA outshopped in its final NBC 'Poppy Red' guise. A real credit to the owners consideruing what they started out with as the bus had been (I believe) a shelter at a cricket round for years following sale from service.
