Already depleted by withdrawals in the London Buses Ltd era, the Leyland
Titan fleet of T class was divided upon privatization between three new
companies; London Central, Stagecoach East London and Stagecoach
Selkent. Together with a host of smaller companies operating second-hand
acquisitions, the Titans' declining years between 1998 and 2003 are
explored in this pictorial account that encompasses both standard
day-to-day routes, emergency deployments and rail replacement services.
Only small numbers remained to usher out the type altogether at the end
of 2005, when step-entrance double-deckers as a whole were banished from
the capital.
