Liverpool Corporation fleet number L307, a Leyland PD2, arriving at the Pier Head on route 17D.
The conductor has already changed the destination blind from PIER HEAD to UTTING AV from the
panel at the inner front end of the upper deck. This bus was one of a number that entered service in
unpainted aluminium, it was said that it was for 2 reasons… 1, to test how unpainted aluminium
stood up to the sea air with Liverpool being right on the west coast, and 2, it was a financial saving
because most of them remained unpainted for their entire time of about 17 years in the fleet.
This bus appears at the rear of the previous picture as starts its descent of Water Street.
