I recall a school excursion on this or similar model bus, pre 1975. The bus stopped at traffic lights on a steep hill. Unfortunately it lacked power to move again. All us kids were ordered off the bus, crossed the road, and re-boarded the bus on the other side of the lights where the road was less steep. This time was successful in moving.
Hi there I restore the pneumatic gear shifters for these types of buses.I was just wondering would you know of any pedestal gear shifters available for this type of bus thanks

That would have been an AEC with the same body. They were known for that. A Leyland wouldn't have that trouble.

Not that I know of, sorry. I'm simply a bus / public transport enthusiast.
Less talking and more listening boys... to the engine.
