28 april 2013 - Weybridge, Surrey (UK) – London Bus Museum, Brooklands. This 1939 Leyland Cub was intended for transfer work between Central London railway stations, but war intervened and it did not see much service until sold and exported to Cyprus in 1949. It was found in a scrap yard there and brought back to England, where it was fully restored and now lives in the London Bus Museum. These buses are noteworthy as they were among the first to have their engine at the rear, although the half-cab layout and sliding door meant that one-person operation would be many years away.
