It's a lovely old bus and I bet it was very noisy and rattly (is there such a word?) I can't see it holding 32 people though.
8 rows, 4 seats across - yes, I can see that holding 32.
32 seater? If that bus was in India there would be room for another hundred on top.
Good picture, does anybody know if this old bus still exists?
There was a pub in Leyland named after that model of bus:
The "Leyland Tiger"
Wigan corporation used a bus like this to run a shuttle service from the balcarres arms pub in haigh down to the hall and back ,memory tells me early fifties
Long way from home now, in the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum, Lathalmond near Dunfermline,Fife.
Thanks for the information Tom, glad it's been saved for posterity and nostalgia.
They used to have a lot of these old buses in Malta, Had some great times at Leyland Tiger Art.
