  • Nice thrash! But what's with the seats?!

  • Ah it looks like you need to go on more Blackpool transport stuff, the seats are quite common amongst the buses and even some trams. UWW11X has a very tidy full matching set of these seats. Perhaps Blackpool specified this mocquette? I thinks its the only place I have seen it .......yet.

  • Hi, this bus with semi-auto gearbox or fully-auto gearbox??

  • It was a semi-auto, the driver was using the gears with his left hand, and using high gears so didn't allow a lot of thrash compared with some Atlantean rides I have had.

  • Although the Leyland National 2 did have the Leyland 680/690 engine hence National 2's sounded pretty similar to an Atlantean at times. The wail you hear in an Atlantean is due to the radiator fan.

  • simples a semi automatic is like a geared box except no clutch to get thru the gears also you can set off in any gear

  • Could you explain how a semi-auto box works?

  • National's have a 510 engine, Atlanteans have the 680 engine. Yes the atlanteans are very beefy. I'm currently restoring blackpool's atlantean 343 (ghg343w)

  • My grandad used to drive atlanteans many years ago. Semi-automatics, Very nippy busses for a double decker

  • A bit of a rattle!

  • Yes, I'm surprised how much I miss the GM standard Atlanteans and Fleetlines too! I miss them almost as much as Blackpool's Leyland PD3s! Modern buses have no character.

  • I don't particularly remember travelling on any Blackpool buses but I have seen the seats in the trams - much suited to the Balloon Cars rather than the Atlanteans!
