FANTASTIC! | SNB449 YPL 449T Preserved London Country Leyland National MK1 | route 176: Biggleswade

Hello all! today we have SNB449 YPL 449T Preserved London Country Leyland National MK1 on route 176 to Biggleswade this was the morning feeder bus. it was supposed to be a Bristol VR but they changed it at the last minute. why? I don't know. am I complaining? definitely not. this thing was gorgeous. I have a soft spot for Leyland nationals. some of my favourite buses of the "older" generation. this one was superb. sounded lovely and it was quite fast! History: it was new to London country in 1979. Then transferred to Luton and district in 1990. Then transferred to Theobald's in Dunstable in late 1997. Then got transferred to a preservationist in 2001. Underwent a big restoration and got restored in 2009. Then got transferred to the United bus Counties preservation group in 2026 on a loan. Then went back to the original preservationist after this event. apologies about background noise. enjoy! filmed from Bedford bus station to the outskirts of biggleswade with some cutouts in-between
