Leyland Titan TD2 Tower Wagon TW1 (RV3411) was converted from a standard doubledecker. Its body was cut down leaving a crew cab and fitted with an elevating inspection tower primarily for dealing with problems of the trolleybus network overhead. It was used in its later days as a tow truck for recovering motor buses. It has been owned by the Portsmouth City Museums since 1986. It is seen at the 2002 Southsea Rally.

 Seen at the Alton Rally in 2006 is former 2 (LRV992) an Orion Titan PD2, converted to open top in the latter part of its life with Portsmouth City Transport. Prior to that it was fleet number 100. The open topper passed to Transit Holdings with the Portsmouth operations and saw service in Oxford with Thames Transit and ultimately with Stagecoach in Devon when the Transit companies were taken over by Stagecoach. |
 Also at Alton in 2006 was sister vehicle 4 (LRV996) - 2 is just visible behind. It has the reversed colour scheme. |
