PDH 808 Leyland Royal Tiger with Park Royal bodywork
Reg No: PDH 808
Chassis: Leyland Royal Tiger PSU1
Engine: Leyland 0600
Body: Park Royal SD
Built in 1953, 808 was one of a batch of 10 Royal Tigers ordered by the then new General Manager, R. Edgley Cox. 801-805 were Leyland bodied, with 806-810 having this style of Park Royal bodywork.
All ten later operated with the WMPTE, 808 receiving their livery. On withdrawal the bus passed to a school in Chase Terrace before passing to Wythall via a preservation group based in Carnforth who had restored it to Walsall blue. In 2007 808 received a fresh coat of paint, new lettering and a set of bus seats.
