London Country UPB310S

Seen here at Whipsnade Zoo on 15th July 1979 awaiting it's departure time on a late afternoon Service 313 journey through to Enfield is Leyland National UPB 310S, SNB 310 of London Country's St Albans Garage. New to SA in November 1977, it later worked at Reigate from March 1984 and subsequently Addlestone, being converted to a National Greenway and acquiring the registration PDZ 6261. It later worked for Londonlinks, subsequently passing to Kentish Bus and being taken over by Arriva. Transfer to Teeside and later Fox Country followed, with acquisition by A-Line Coaches of Bedworth in the early 2000's - the vehicle worked with them until scrapping in 2008. It should be noted that this is a good wider view of the substantial wooden waiting shelters that existed at Whipsnade Zoo at this time, reflecting the large number of people who had arrived by bus and coach in the 1950's and 60's, with many Green Line and other local routes being extended to the Zoo at weekends and during school holidays. The shelters were removed in the mid-1980's, with this area now in use as disabled parking. Scanned from an acquired negative.

Luton Corporation UNM149

Metro Cammell bodied Leyland PD2 UNM 149 was one of a number of similar vehicles acquired by Luton Corporation in the second half of the 1950's and gave good service to the undertaking, passing along with a number of it's stablemates to United Counties in January 1970. It is seen here standing at Whipsnade Zoo, having completed a journey from Luton via Dunstable on Service 53B, which was the furthest reach of Luton Corporation services for many years. The large wooden waiting shelters at this location reflected the numbers of people that used coaches and buses to get to the zoo in the post war period, but by the 1980's they saw much less use and were demolished, the area now forming part of the disabled car park. Scanned from an acquired print.
