MPE362 operated in the Central Region part of Alexander’s (Midland) and in 1985 remained part of the smaller Midland Scottish fleet. During its career 362 operated from Larbert Depot, operating also from the now closed Grangemouth Depot and the soon to be closed Linlithgow Depot. It was not until 1999 that Midland, by that time part of First Group sold the bus, by that time renumbered 462, to Whitelaw’s of Stonehouse. Upon withdrawal 362 was purchased for preservation. Midland operated over 450 examples of the Leyland Leopard, the first being delivered in 1964 and the last arriving in 1982. One Leopard continues to be used by First from Larbert Depot as a Driver Trainer vehicle.
