60 years of Liverpools Leyland Atlanteans. L501 Tour 

60 years I'm amazed, I always thought of them as being modern ! Lovely bus and wonderful film. My how Liverpool has changed. Looked like a right motley crew having a fun day out, wish I'd been there !! thanks for sharing MW.

I remember spending a week in Liverpool in 1986 and seeing these buses (or types very like them) in profusion at the bus station by the Pierhead. Even though the design is "minimalist" this is a beautifully restored and preserved vehicle and the type must linger in the memories of many locals of a certain age.

I think I rode on one like this a few years back at a restoration charity in burscough when they had an open day. It's amazing how times have changed with the busses.

Boy,this bring back some memories! I used the 79's mostly as i lived in Lee Park,with the other route being the 66 to Garston. Happy days!

Sitting at the back of the lower deck in the middle of winter was pure joy but sheer in in the height of summer best bus ever

Brings back memories of buying a saveaway ticket in the early 80's and then going on various trips/routes as much as I could for that day! My Bus was the 12c!

that lad at 8:25 putting his head down so he isn't seen or hates Stagecoach. Full marks lad, hilarious...hahaha. Great video, thank you for compiling and posting.

The one bus I would love to have a drive is the Atlantean in the London area we had the AN class of London country good old NBC that style of body was used right up until the last Atlantean’s were delivered in 82/83 innit ,superb looking bus for the time 😊

That green bus does look really nice. Quite like that green double decker bus.

🔥🔥🔥

60 years ago when the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Cilla Black were starting their musical careers.L501 501KD is not the first Liverpool Atlantean,it is the second, L500 500KD was the first. This was a big batch of 200 up to L699.

The LCPT Atlanteans were an outstanding bus in terms of what was available all those years ago. The official introduction was in early 1963, but in December 1962, they were introduced on the 86/87 routes but were quickly withdrawn with problems with the brakes in the very cold weather at the time. The problem was quickly sorted at Edge Lane.

Being born in 1965 and living on the Childwall Valley Estate opposite the new Lidl (Corrie & betting shop now gone) I must have got on that 79 bus numerous times.

I used Atlantean buses between East Grinstead and Crawley.
