Donated by Chris Youhill who told us “Myself as an honorary conductor, with genuine Ledgard equipment on the memorial running day in 2012. The vehicle, extremely kindly professionally painted and loaned by Timebus Travel of St Albans, never served with Ledgard’s but four identical ex- London Transport ones did at Yeadon (Moorfield) Depot”.
