Cumberland - BRM596
Cumberland Motor Services had an all Leyland fleet until the end of the second world war when Bristol's gradually took over. 291, BRM596, is a 1936 Leyland Titan TD4 which in 1948 received a new ECW body similar to that fitted to a number of Leyland Titan PD1s at that time. Indeed the only clue to the real age of the bus is the short pre-war radiator. The bus is now owned by Steve Morris (formerly Quantock Motor Services) and is kept in stunning condition. On the 4th June 2024 I joined a David Williams photographic charter making rare use of a double-decker heritage bus for a days photography in the Westcountry. Our day started at Langley Marsh, before visiting Wiveliscombe and Wellington posing the bus in scenes which have changed little to keep with the period theme of the 1950's.
