Background
The Dominator was described as bespoke, with numerous options for the customer to choose from - in contrast to Leyland's "one bus for everyone" aproach. To some extent it was considered a successor to the Fleetline.
It was mainly sold with the Gardner 6LXB engine coupled up to a Voith DIWA transmission and a drop-centre rear axle, but hub-reduction rear axle and other engine options including the Rolls-Royce Eagle, the Cummins L10, the turbocharged Gardner 6LXCT and DAF engines were also available.
South Yorkshire PTE was the biggest British customer for the Dominator, with a total fleet of 323 (including one trolleybus built in 1985 for test and evaluation). Most had Rolls-Royce Eagle engines and hub-reduction axles. Most also were fitted with the new style RH-Type body from Alexander, which was developed in conjunction with the SYPTE.
The Dominator was replaced by the short-lived Dennis Arrow in 1996. 1007 Dominators were sold.
