This old Sheffield Park Royal bodied Atlantean, 748 (BWB148H), was converted by South Yorkshire PTE, including a facelift, as a travelling promotion and information bus, dubbed the "Road show". The bus has been acquired by the South Yorkshire Transport Museum and its livery - at least - modified to promote the Museum at various events. The bus is seen in the Museum in July 2018.

Unfacelifted Park Royal bodied Atlantean 710 (HWJ710J) is seen in Sheffield some forty years earlier. The big yellow sign on the front indicated the bus was fitted with the Videmat self service system.

Continuing South Yorkshire PTE's quirky purchases they bought a batch of virtually standard London DMS Leyland Fleetlines with MCW bodies. This is 1524 (OKW524R). Most obvious external difference was the SYPTE blind layout and to the right of the front blind the speaker for the siren fitted for the driver to signal if he was in distress. Red Rover of Aylesbury acquired three of these buses secondhand and the siren was a great way of announcing the arrival of their prestige Linkline service in the sonerous chamber of Aylesbury Bus Station.
