This was one of the vehicles taking part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1996 in Heaton Park, Manchester.
It's a former Warrington Corporation 1947 Leyland Titan PD1, and the programme of the event said this about it:
Leyland PD1, Leyland Body, 1947 EED 8
Entered by R Hughes, Birchwood, Warrington
Former Operator - Warrington. New to Warrington Corporation in 1947, EED 8 later became the Driving vehicle. The current owner received this vehicle in 1976 and very slowly restored it to present condition.
I understand that in 2018 a fire destroyed all but the chassis, running gear and cab, but the owner was determined to set about restoring EED 8 once again.
