This Leyland is one of the first PD3 buses that Wigan Corporation acquired
in 1960. The bodywork is by Northern Counties of Wigan. The small white
sign on the “Tin Front” is showing its new fleet number, so the date of this
picture must be from 1974 onwards, after the takeover by Greater Manchester
Transport, and it may have soon, despite being about 15 years old, received
the orange and white livery of GMT. Picture by Tom Sutch.
