Portsmouth Corporation 112 - ORV989
Leyland "Titan" PD2/40 built 1958
M.C.W "Orion" 56 Seat Double-Decker
Owned by: Working Omnibus Museum Project Ltd
No.112 was delivered as a standard 56 seat closed-top double-decker bus. Its seating capacity was increased
by 3 seats to 59 in 1961. Upon withdrawal from service in 1972, this bus was used as a Driver Training Vehicle.
Following a rear end shunt in North End Depot, it was withdrawn from Training Duties and ultimately passed to
the care of Portsmouth City Museums in 1978. Restoration work is nearly complete and has returned to the streets of
Portsmouth as seen in the above view taken at South Parade Pier.
No.112 being moved from Broad Street to Warnford.
