Atlantean Day Out Portsmouth 262

The City of Portsmouth Passenger Transport Department operated a large fleet of Leyland Atlanteans. The first ones entered service in 1962 and the final batch was delivered in 1975. One such vehicle from the 1972 batch is 262 (VTP 262L), an AN68/1R type with an Alexander H75D body. Thankfully now preserved and in the current ownership of Darren Marshall. It was decided that on Saturday 26th March 2015 262 would take a tour of a number of former ‘Corporation’ routes. A ‘running board’ was drawn up by fellow enthusiast Peter J Clark and 262 took to the road with a number of friends and enthusiasts on board, including the independent transport videos cameras.
