This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996.
It's a 1950 Leyland Tiger PS1 with a C35F Alexander body and powered by a 7.4 litre diesel engine. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:
Leyland Tiger PS1, Alexander Body, 1950 CWG 206
Entered by J Crankshaw, Meltham, Huddersfield
Although the Greater Manchester area was dominated by urban bus services, rural services were a way of life in some areas of the country. Walter Alexander and Sons Ltd of Falkirk ran buses in north east Scotland using vehicles such as this one. Alexander's buses were also used on express services from Scotland to other parts of Great Britain, including Manchester.
