Leyland National LJI 8027 Update

Some of you may remember a recent post concerning the identity of Leyland National LJI 8027 (Identity Of LJI 8027 Solved - 15th March 2023) which appeared to have been left abandoned to rot away at the former Brooke Marine site in the port area of Lowestoft.



I was contacted this morning by 'Reg Vardy' who was sure he saw the vehicle being towed to a scrapyard in South Lowestoft. He contacted the contractor in charge of the move and found it was taken to the CR Hales yard on Pinbush Road with the latter expected to start scraping the vehicle straight away. That did indeed happen with part of the font of the bus already in the heap in the photo taken this afternoon.

My thanks to 'Reg' for the information and I can only assume that our blog post hastened its ultimate demise.
