Overtaking the 77
A nostalgic image of a Ford Transit police van overtaking a number 77 bus on a North Manchester road. We think the date of the image is probably sometime in the early 1970s.
The early models of the Ford Transit were a regular feature of numerous police vehicle fleets for many years.
The pedestrian on the right of the image is clearly intrigued as to what the photographer is recording.
The image has little in the way of a caption and so we have no idea why the photograph was taken but we are sure it will bring back memories to many local people.
Did you remember riding the 77 bus during this period?
From the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives.
