This bus is pictured in Heaton Park, Manchester where it took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1998.
It's an ex-Leeds Corporation Transport 1955 Leyland Titan PD2/11 with a Roe H33/25R body and the Leyland O.600 straight-six 9.8 litre diesel engine. The programme of the event said this about the vehicle:
Leyland PD2/11 Charles H Roe 1955 UUA 207
Entered by Robert Murray, Leeds
New to Leeds Corporation Transport this is a very rare model of which only 20 were built, all 20 being supplied to Leeds, fitted with semi-automatic pneumocyclic transmission and air brakes. Bought for preservation in 1982 from a gliding club who were about to convert it to a towing winch. Now restored to mid 60's livery with period adverts.
