Manufacturer description
The Leyland Titan was a forward-control chassis with a front-mounted engine designed to carry double-decker bus bodywork. It was built mainly for the UK market between 1927 and 1942 and then again between 1945 and 1969. This double decker is based on the Midland Red liveried bus registered JBC 989 that operated in the Leicester area, with this particular one heading for Loughborough via Mountsorrel as the No. 625, according to the destination blind. The advertising panels are advocating Potters Catarrh Pastilles on one side, while a much more palatable item features on the near side - The newest, smartest Britvic Cherry B for me! Pure nostalgia!
