Green Line TL8, Knightsbridge, London, 1989

            New to London Country in 1982, TPC108X was an ECW B51 coach bodied Leyland Tiger numbered TL8, part of a larger batch of such vehicles delivered new in 1982 (TL1-TL42 (TPC101-111/114X, WPH112/115-142Y)). Fitted with powerful Leyland TL11 diesel engines and featuring air-suspension, these coaches were used on motorway and airport express work. The type had a relatively long life with London Country the first withdrawals coming the late 1980s, and some lasting into the early 1990s before being sold on.

In 1992, London Country disposed of TL8 (via a dealer) to Redby Travel of Sunderland for further service. After only a short stay, TL8 was sold onto Whitelaw's of Stonehouse in 1993, who quickly disposed of it to Irvine's of Law. In 1995, TL8 passed to Kelvin Central Buses and beyond that to First Glasgow in 1997. After use by First Glasgow, it can only be assumed that TL8 was eventually disposed and scrapped in the early 2000s.
