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 1995.

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 Withdrawn 1981.
The colonnade behind the buses used to stand in front of Manchester's first Town Hall in King Street in the city centre and was moved to Heaton Park when that building was demolished in 1902.
