Oldham Corporation’s finest
Preserved Oldham Corporation Transport 494 (NBU494) stands outside the Greater Manchester Museum of Transport. It is a 1957 Leyland PD2/20 and carries bodywork by Charles H. Roe of Leeds - a supremely handsome combination. Oldham’s municipal bus operations were one of 11 that were subsumed into the South East Lancashire & North East Cheshire Passenger Transport Authority (SELNEC PTE) in October 1969. With the addition of the Wigan Corporation bus operations in 1974, SELNEC morphed into the Greater Manchester PTE.
