In 1968, with its Transport Act, Britain's Labour Government fulfilled its long held ambition to restructure public transport provision. Passenger Transport Authorities and Executives were created to control and integrate service provision in their areas.
One of the first to be formed in 1969 was South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire PTA/E. Ashton-under-Lyne Corporation was one of the many constituents, and among its contributions was 229YTB, this 1962 Leyland Titan PD2/40 with Roe H37/28R body. It was still in Ashton colours when this picture was taken at Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens in May 1970.
