    2. Dear Lal

      Have you got images (photagraphs) of any of these Leyland Power Plus buses that you have mentioned numbers ? Are these the only 13C6RP buses that were at Horana Depot ? Also if you can indicate the time period.I assume this would be between 1978 and 1985.

  2. මෙම බස් රථයේ පිටුපස දොරටුව අසල ඇති, තහඩුවක් මත පින්තාරු කරන ලද වෙළඳ දැන්වීම මහරගම ඩිපෝවේ බස් රථවලත් සවිකර තිබුණා මට මතක යි. එහි සඳහන් වූයේ "නෙස්ටොමෝල්ට් - ඔබේ ජීවිතයට සරිලන පානය" යන්න යි. නෙස්ටොමෝල්ට් ටින් දෙකක් ද එහි ඇඳ තිබුණා.
