47 years of bus photography
Leyland Atlanteans - Municipals and CIE
11th April 2004

The Leyland Atlantean first appeared in 1956, and is still with us today. You could almost say it was Leyland's Routemaster - but that would be pushing it!
The doubledecker was the first successful rear-engined bus to be mass-produced in Britain.
It took a bit of time to be accepted - but Daimler produced its version, AEC didn't - and folded - while Bristol (dear conservative Bristol) followed a decade later.
