Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee

Also celebrating 40 years is the Leyland National, and TTC SHOWBUS wil be hosting the Leyland National Group's commemorative display. London Country LN15 appeared in our first display at Brunel University in January 1973.

The revolutionary twin steer Bedford VAL was introduced to the world 50 years ago in 1962 and TTC SHOWBUS will be hosting the official commemorative display of these unique vehicles with around a dozen or more preserved examples expected.


We will be celebrating the London Olympics in our own inimitable way with a display of our own type of Olympians - the Leyland and Volvo sort! We are also adding Optare's Olympus models to the line up, any Olympics decorated buses and hopefully a Leyland Olympic, if we can find one. Let us know if you can help.

AEC, makers of London's buses, would be 100 years old in 2012, so there will be a special AEC display at SHOWBUS - expect a few Routemasters!
