1958 Leyland Titan PD3/6

This is one of the vehicles that took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.

It's a Leyland Titan PD3/6, provided new to Bury Corporation Transport in 1958. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:

Leyland PD3/6, MCW H41/32RD, 1958                                                                      GEN201

Bury 201

Entered by      J. Stephenson, Bolton

Acquired for preservation in 1975 following withdrawal by GMPTE. Recently repainted into original 1958 style livery at St Helens Transport Museum.

AEC Regent

I photographed this former Bury Corporation AEC Regent in September 1995 in Heaton Park, Manchester, at the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally organised by the Greater Manchester Transport Society.

The programme of the event had this to say about this vehicle:

AEC Regent III 9613A Weymann H56R, 1952                                                      BEN 177
Bury 177
Entered by     D.R. Stubbings, Rossendale
The majority of Bury's Buses were Lancashire built Leylands, Two AEC chassis were bought in 1950 and placed in store until Weymann bodies were fitted. These two AEC buses were unpopular with Bury's bus drivers, being 'odd-men out in the fleet.
