Greenline Coach Leyland Leopard

Post by LocoLes »

This old veteran was once a familiar sight around the southern suburbs of Adelaide. When photographed [c. late 1980's] the Leyland Leopard with a 1978 Domino Hedges body was #18 in Greenline Coaches fleet. Later it joined the fleet of Transit Regency Coaches as their #36 until TRC ceased Charter operations in 1992. The coach is photographed parked on Main South Road at Morphett Vale.

I'd say that this is one of the three Domino bodied Leopards that were new to Melbourne and Brighton Bus Lines in 1978 ( a fourth came in 1979). Some were put in the colours of the MET on acquisition in 1985 (green and yellow) but soon sold off. Here is a Bruce Tilley photo of one when new:

Hi System Improver,

Thanks for the addition of the Melbourne-Brighton photo, yes that would solve where the bus originated, the side destination box, amongst other features, is shown in each photo. The huge big difference is the Melbourne - Brighton B. L. livery looks much more superior which was a pleasing feature of their bus fleet.
