When I was growing up I had a particular fondness for T class Leyland Titan buses. They were still being delivered when I first became interested in buses, and I always preferred them to the competing MCW Metrobus type. However, looking at this photo I realised the Titan was quite a 'boxy' design. I think that cropping out the upper deck windows (which were tapered-in slightly) has emphasised this. Anyway, Catford Garage was a major user of Titans in the 1980s and it also had a couple of the Bedford Astra vans used by bus inspectors. 3477B was photographed on the garage forecourt on 3rd September 1988. Note that, as was common, much of the cabside lettering has worn off. |
