Merseyside PTE - 4070 HWM70P - Scania Metropolitan BR111DH - Metro-Cammell
The Scania Metropolitan was a double-deck version of the Anglo-Swedish Metro-Scania single-deck bus, a joint collaboration gas guzzling rust bucket flying machine built in conjunction with Metro-Cammell from Birmingham. Sixty of these were purchased by the PTE following on from twenty single-decks. All were withdrawn by the summer of 1986, which is quite good considering how long some of these lasted! This one is seen here leaving Pier Head when heading for the Liverpool suburb of Netherley in 08/1979. Another couple of these can be seen in the background amongst a host of Alexander bodied Leyland Atlanteans.
The film used was Kodachrome Colourslide.
