Western Welsh's next coaches arrived in 1963, in the shape of four elegant 36ft Leyland Leopards, with Duple 'Alpine Continental' bodies, as seen below.

Fleetnumbers were 140-143; registrations being 140 DBO etc; and entered service in an all-over Royal Ivory livery.


These Leopards were of the less-common PSU3/3RT variant, and featured the 9.8-litre Leyland 0.600 engine, 4-speed synchromesh 'box, and Eaton 2-speed rear axle.

43 is pictured here in Rawtenstall working an express service to Wakefield, whilst on hire to fellow BET subsidiary Ribble Motor Services.

All four were withdrawn in 1971, and passed to Black & White Motorways of Cheltenham.

WW's coach orders for the next few years reverted to shorter-length AEC Reliance-based vehicles.
