Why this bus matters

The Leyland Atlantean was one of Britain's most influential rear-engined double-decker buses. Introduced in the late 1950s, it helped shape public transport across the UK for decades. Its low-floor entrance and modern layout made passenger boarding easier and improved operational efficiency for transport operators.

This model represents vehicle 928 (928GTA) operated by Devon General. The bus carries the familiar National Bus Company livery, introduced after the formation of the NBC in 1969. The open top configuration became popular on scenic coastal and tourist routes throughout Devon, allowing passengers to enjoy views of the surrounding countryside and coastline.

The combination of the Leyland Atlantean design and Devon General colours makes this model a notable piece of British transport history.
