Leyland Atlantean Bus


What is your favourite bus of all time?


Classic Leyland Atlantean Bus 1956 (Silver Star)


June 1956 saw a change in regulation that allowed the 30ft double-decker, thus making the rear-engined double-decker a practical possibility. Only three months later Leyland astonished the industry with the prototype Atlantean, a bus that would set the trend for the next forty years. It used the big Leyland 0.600 engine mounted transversely behind the rear axle and had a setback front axle with the door mounted alongside the driver.
