Why this bus matters

The Leyland Atlantean transformed public transport in Britain. Introduced in the late 1950s, it became one of the most recognisable rear-engined double-decker buses in the country. Its design allowed for increased passenger capacity while maintaining a compact footprint for urban and coastal routes.

Devon General operated several Atlanteans on scenic routes throughout South West England. Open top conversions became popular for sightseeing services, giving passengers clear views of coastal towns and countryside attractions.

The cream and red Devon General livery remains a favourite among transport enthusiasts. This 1:76 scale model captures that period appearance with accurate fleet markings and open deck detail.

How to use it
