Daimler / Leyland Fleetline Profile and Models

The Daimler Fleetline (known as the Leyland Fleetline from circa 1975) is a rear-engined double-decker bus chassis which was built between 1960 and 1983. The Daimler Fleetline was the second rear-engined double-decker bus chassis to be launched by a UK manufacturer, following Leyland's introduction of the Atlantean in 1958. London Transport was the largest British Fleetline operator, purchasing 2,646, the last 400 being built as B20s, in addition to the earlier XF (eXperimental Fleetline) class of eight buses. Second in fleet size was Birmingham City Transport and its successor West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive with well over 1,000 buses, including the first single-decker Fleetlines in 1965. Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive purchased over 500 Fleetlines in addition to a similar number inherited from its constituents. Other English PTEs, plus many fleets in the municipal, such as Cardiff Bus with 90 examples, BET Group, Scottish Bus Group and independent sectors purchased Fleetlines.
