AEC Regent V
Willowbrook HBB56R
This is another highbridge Beverly Bar Regent V of East Yorkshire Motor Services this time a view of the near side, but what is very interesting is the single decker behind. You did not see many rear entrance full fronted bus or coach’s, it is actually a 1954 Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/1 with a 5.76 litre engine and a Willowbrook C39R body. According to my British Bus Fleets book dated 1962 this batch of 14 had a centre entrance, were they converted sometime between 1954 and 1962. If you know, let me know, please leave a comment.
There is a much better photo of one of these single deckers here.
A full list of Regent V codes can be seen here.

Concerning the Tiger Cub mentioned there is no evidence for these ever having centre entrance/exits, but they were re-seated during 1955 as dual purpose, but still retaining the rear entrances/exits.
