Leyland Tiger Cub
First entering service with Burnley, Colne & Nelson in May 1959, our Leyland Tiger Cub has enjoyed a fascinating and varied history.
After years in passenger service and later use as a driver-training vehicle, it entered preservation around 1980.
One of its more unusual roles was as a film-set canteen, complete with tables and chairs, before being returned to a passenger-carrying configuration.
Today, it forms part of our vintage coach collection, offering a distinctive piece of British transport history for special occasions.
Bedford J2 – UVE 593K
Our Bedford J2 began its working life in July 1972, transporting staff for the National Blood Transfusion Service in Cambridge.
After passing through several owners and periods of preservation, it joined the A D Rains Coaches collection in February 2012.
The vehicle also appeared in the British film Made in Dagenham, featuring in a scene depicting a vehicle crossing a picket line.
With its distinctive appearance and connection to British cinema, this Bedford J2 has a particularly interesting story to tell.
Leyland Leopard
Our Leyland Leopard entered service with Southdown in September 1971, initially based at Chichester before later moving to Worthing.
Built with Plaxton Panorama Elite bodywork, the coach remained in Southdown service until April 1988, before passing through several operators and eventually entering preservation.
It also has an interesting history in film and television, having appeared in the British film Pride and the BBC detective series New Tricks.
Today, this classic coach forms part of our vintage collection, preserving a distinctive example of British passenger transport from the 1970s.
Bedford J2 (MVE 400H)
Our Bedford J2, registration MVE 400H, began its working life with Cambridge Area Health Authority at Tower Hospital in Ely.
Originally configured with eleven seats and a chairlift, the vehicle was designed for specialist hospital transport before passing through several operators and preservation owners.
In 2009, the chairlift was removed and the interior was converted to accommodate twenty coach seats.
The Bedford joined A D Rains Coaches in October 2012 and remains part of our collection of classic British vehicles.
