A lot of these bus and coach manufacturers also made first generation British Railways DMUs, lots of bus technology in use.

The second DMU in this clip is from Metro Cammell (First is BRCW - not buses).

They had AEC or Leyland engines

This one is from Pressed Steel at Linwood

Dead right Martin! :y
However, they were actually marketed under the 'B.U.T.' guise - a sort of collaboration between AEC and Leyland for 'rail' rather than 'road' use.

My Dad, who is now 95, used drive one of these.
He used to transport troops into Wales on his leave. The troops were used to put out the beacons that had been lit to guide the German bombers to Birkenhead and Liverpool. He still hates people from North Wales with a passion. Not because of the beacons but because it used to ruin his leave. :y
