The Leyland National bus was manufactured between 1972 and 1985, a joint venture between the National Bus Company and British Leyland. With over 7,700 buses having been built, John Godwin takes a look at the development of this pioneering bus, exploring its many variations, and its subsequent history. This 32-page comprehensive review of the Leyland National includes 42 full colour photographs, showcasing buses across the Midlands and the South of England. The book includes details of the original thinking behind the Leyland National, details of the prototype models and the Mark 1, Series B and Mark 2 models. The later National Greenway and Urban Bus refurbishments are discussed and well illustrated.
