LEYLAND Royal Tiger buses are being used by V.P. Cars, Zonhoven, to carry miners on fast express services from Holland to Belgium. There is a manpower shortage in the Belgian mining industry and the men make return journeys of up to 100
miles. Average operating speeds are around 45 m.p.h.
The vehicles have locally built 51-62 seat bodies 36-ft. long. At weekends and during holiday periods they are used on tours of Austria, Germany, and France.
The first Royal Tiger placed in service in 1952 has now covered 90,000 miles without having the cylinder head removed.
