Standing at the bus depot at Beamish Museum is this 1953-built Leyland PD2/12, UK registered RTC 822. The bus is powered by a Leyland 0.600, 9.8ltr engine.
The bus was new to Rawtenstall Corporation (Lancashire). It is seen here, in preservation, in the livery of Scout Motor Service of Preston (Lancashire), although it was never actually owned/operated by them.
To the left of the shot, and providing very much of a contrast, is 1938-built tram Lisbon 730. This tram, having been converted to standard gauge after arrival in the UK, is believed to be the only standard gauge ex-Lisbon tram in the world!
