This evening, 'Deltabus' and I took some of our club's sponsors to Manchester in our oldest charge, Leyland Titan OPD2, NEH 466. Having deposited them, we were able to amble back at our own speed, calling for Fish & Chips in Knutsford, then availing ourselves of this photo opportunity in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. The picture would be difficult in the extreme to get during the working day, as traffic levels here are exceptionally high, and the street narrow. At this point I must confess to having digitally removed some glaringly offensive modern steel street lights, but other than for that, this is a genuine scene with it's wonderfully cared for bakers shop, and the red telephone box. The ex PMT double decker, now in the custody of the Potteries Omnibus Preservation Society has something of an interesting history too, being built for the export market (and wider than the then permitted UK maximum), but never departed these shores. It was bodied in 1949 as a single decker, then re-bodied as a double decker with this lightweight Northern Counties 'Lowbridge' bodywork in 1953. It survived into the preservation era by dint of becoming a driver trainer, a role which it performed into the late 1970's.
