File:Pizza bus (EYE 244V), 1980 Leyland Titan B15, Canterbury, 18 July 2009.jpg

English: Catering bus (reg. EYE 244V), a 1980 Leyland Titan (B15), pictured in the coach park in Kingsmead Road, Canterbury, Kent, serving coach drivers while their passengers visit the historic city. As advertised by the sign above the door, it's fitted with a wood burning oven for making pizza. The black object on the roof is presumably the chimney.

The 274th production Titan, it's one of the last of the early batch built by the British Leyland subsidiary Park Royal Vehicles in Park Royal, London (later ones were built at Leyland's expanded factory in the Lillyhall Industrial Estate, Workington).

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 T244.

As part of the privatisation process it passed into the fleet of Stagecoach Selkent in 1994.

It was withdrawn from London service just a year later, being transferred within Stagecoach to their South Coast Buses operation in Hastings. They renumbered it as their no. 7244 and converted it to a single door bus. Some time later it received a semi-automatic transmission.

By December 2002 it had been sold to a dealer in Weybridge, Surrey.

Thereafter it saw further use as a party bus with a Bournemouth based company. They painted it allover black but with lots of garish multi-coloured lettering, advertising it as The Celebration Bus for available for birthdays, Christmas parties, hen nights & office parties. It was also fitted with a pole for pole-dancing.

Some time later it was restored to its original red colour, and fitted with the pizza oven.
