By the end of the 1960s, economics dictated that the traditional
front-engined double-decker had had its day. In the Atlantean and
its competitors, the British bus and coach industry had vehicles
capable of taking on and meeting the challenges, both at home and
abroad, that the contemporary world presented. The Atlantean was
probably the last British-designed and -built bus to achieve
massive sales worldwide, with the list of operators both at home
and abroad being legion. In this fully illustrated book, Gavin
Booth looks back at the development of the Leyland Atlantean from
its origins in the 1950s and examines its importance over the past
half-century. Although the Atlantean has largely disappeared from
public service, its influence remains and, through the handful that
remain in service and those that survive in preservation and
through the pages of this book, it is possible to pay tribute to
one of the most significant bus designs of the second half of the
20th century.
