Summary edit

Description
English: Preserved London Northern bus T567 (reg. NUW 567Y), a 1982 Leyland Titan (B15), pictured at the London Transport Museum's depot in Acton during an open day.

The 617th production Titan, it's from the later batch built at Leyland's expanded factory in the Lillyhall Industrial Estate in Workington (earlier ones were built by British Leyland subsidiary Park Royal Vehicles in Park Royal, London). As with the vast majority of production, it was delivered new to London Transport as part of the dual-door T-class, allocated fleet number T567.

T567 entered service with London Transport in south east London, operating out of Sidcup garage. There it stayed into 1985, the year in which the bus operating arm London Buses Ltd was created as an arms length company separate from London Transport, as part of the deregulation/privatisaton process. By October 1986 it had found its way to north London, operating out of Chalk Farm garage. In July 1988 it was repainted into the new London Buses livery which consisted of a grey skirt and white band being added to the allover red livery used by London Transport on the T-class. In addition, the plain white LT roundel was replaced with a coloured and lettered 'London Buses' one.

T567 was still based at Chalk Farm when London Buses Ltd was split into 11 wholly owned subsidiary business units in December 1988 in the next stage of deregulation, with Chalk Farm being allocated to the London Northern Bus Company Ltd, which traded as London Northern. Accordingly, T567 received London Northern fleetnames, as well as their unit logo representing the Houses of Parliament, being added to its London Buses livery (which all 11 units retained until their respective full privatisations).

With the closure of Chalk Farm in July 1993, T567 transferred to Holloway garage. It didn't stay with London Northern long enough to be fully privatised (the company being sold to MTL on 20 Mar 1995). Just two months after the transfer to Holloway, in September 1993 it was donated to the London Transport Museum. It's pictured here in the museum's Acton depot, still in London Northern/London Buses livery.
