Three of London Transport's nine Leyland Titan Breakdown Tenders were preserved, though little has been seen of any of them for a few years. 1278LD was recently recovered in poor condition and is undergoing a long-term restoration in Lincolnshire, while 1416LD was at the Pump House Museum in Walthamstow until at least 2015 but seems likely to have since moved. 1279LD has not been reported since 1994 but was said to be under restoration by bus company Southern Transit. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to see that it attended the Worthing Bus Rally on 30th July 2023. This photo taken at the rather damp event shows that the tender appears to be in good condition, though it had to run on trade plates (198DY). |
