Rotten to the Core

(1965, Anton Rodgers, Kenneth Griffith)

Footage of Kenneth Griffith as an incompetent pickpocket at Victoria Coach Station has much of interest. A Bedford SB5/Plaxton of Conway Hunt of Ottershaw, EPL187B, passes the camera inside the station; behind it are revealed three Standerwick 'Gay Hostess' Leyland Atlantean coaches:

Partly seen is an Aldershot and District AEC Reliance/Park Royal coach:

There's also an Eastern National Bristol Lodekka FLF/Eastern Coachworks coach, and a glimpse of a Maidstone and District Leyland Leopard bus, as a man boards Samuelsons 451FXX, which carries a fictional 'Longhampton' fleetname. It's a Leyland Leopard and Stuart Turner notes it has a rare Duple Dragonfly body:
