This is one of the vehicles
that took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs
Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996.
It's a 1969 Leyland Titan
PD3/14 that was ordered by Ramsbottom Urban District Council Transport, but by
the time it was delivered their fleet had been incorporated into the SELNEC
(South East Lancashire, North East Cheshire) Passenger Transport Executive
together with the fleets of ten other Local Authorities. A note in the programme of the event says
this about this vehicle:
Leyland Titan PD3/14, East
Lancs, 1969
TTD386H
S.E.L.N.E.C.
Entered by Greater Manchester Transport Society
This historic Vehicle was the
very last of a long line of British buses. It was the last front engined
Leyland
bus built and also the very
last of its kind to enter service in Britain. Withdrawn 1981.
