I see you have Leyland Atlantean SVK616G, my favourite was its sister SVK615G I used to drive them in the 70's. I know that it is probably scrapped now, but I remember how smooth to drive it was, no jerks through the gears and smooth brakes, steering was light as well. I did drive 616 sometimes.
There was some Atlanteans, such as 680 type which had heavy steering, and the gears were air operated, I don't know if I ever drove 680, I remember fleet numbers 635 to 640 they were the ones with heavy steering with gears that hissed when you changed gear (air operated).
