Bus stand Buses and a sales stand on the farmland which is occupied annually by the Llandudno Transport Festival. Representatives of the fleets once belonging to West Midlands PTE, Merseyside PTE and Leeds City Transport are featured. It is a matter of note that the LCT fleet never painted the (aluminium) engine access cover, so this is not a work-in-progress or laziness on the part of the owners.
