S.H.M.D. 45, Ashton, c1969
Scanned from the original 35mm slide, the image shows SHMD 45, a Northern Counties bodied Fleetline departing Ashton Bus Station for Dukinfield.
From memory, the slide was undated, but given that the bus was new in June 1968 and that it is still carries SHMD Joint Transport markings, it's likely taken in 1969 on the cusp of the formation of the SELNEC PTE.
What a shame one of these delightful SHMD Fleetlines was not put aside for posterity.
