The first major doubledeck class of vehicles for the newly separated London Country operation, was the AN,
Leyland Atlantean.
|
AN1, now preserved and seen at the 2000 North Weald Rally, is in its original London Country
green and yellow livery, complete with the 'bats wing' motif. Its former duties on the 321 were then in
the hands of Arriva's new gas powered DAFs, since displaced by Citaros.
|
Despite deliveries of new deckers recently to Watford and Aylesbury (in Arriva colours) ex London Country ANs
soldiered on in High Wycombe, mainly on school contracts and services to Bucks College, though they did
find their way on to stage services, usually the 372 to Chesham. This AN is coping with the usual
crush of morning traffic round the John Hampden and Wycombe High Grammar Schools at Handy Cross
where a new bus lane for school buses has just been installed.

AN121 is preserved in the attractive, but short lived colours of London Country North East. It
is seen here at a rather wet North Weald Rally in 1999.
|
Former London Country AN138 is an NBC standard Atlantean with Park Royal bodywork,
in use on school services in the Bristol area.
