Fleet / Reg: SELNEC 6954 (724 ATE)
Chassis: Leyland Titan PD2/20
Body: East Lancs L30/28R
Model: ALKit Hand built
Notes: Ex Leigh number 54. One of a very small number of lowbridge buses (all from Leigh) that served with SELNEC / GMPTE.
Note the painted window ventilators. This was a trick first done by Leigh engineers and perpetuated by SELNEC to stop water ingress on this identified weak spot on these bodies!
This smart PD2 was new to the much missed enthusiast friendly Fishwick's, in 02/1958, and built to the lowbridge design with the off-side sunken gangway on the top-deck. These must've been really awkward to travel on upstairs whereby the seats are on the left hand side capable of seating four passengers with a bit of a step up to the seats and you were hemmed in by the window or even the middle pair and not much headroom to boot! This fine vehicle is seen here on display at the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust's Morecambe Rally & Running Day, who's main base for the day was the Mazuma Stadium, home of Morecambe FC, on 22/05/2022. © Peter Steel 2022.

DB767. An unusual sight outside Farnborough Main railway station in Hampshire was this 1962 Brighton Corporation Leyland PD2, 23 ACD. It took part in the Aldershot & District Bus Running Day at Farnborough on Sunday, 7th September, 2014 and made several trips between the station and the rally venue at the 6th Form College. This is it in a bus bay outside the station on such a trip.
Despite being a half-cab it has a front entrance and staircase and was converted to one man operation in 1966 - but the driver had to twist round somewhat awkwardly to collect the fares.
Alongside it is a Stagecoach Gold Alexander-Dennis Enviro 300 on route 1, Camberley to Aldershot.

The PD2 came into this world 2 months before my hunger brother did! I often saw it in service from Litherland garage in the north of Liverpool.
This all-Leyland PD2/1 dates from around 1948, and gleams in the Florida sunshine after a fresh lick of paint to advertise McGuire’s Irish Pub in Destin FL. Does anyone know this vehicle’s UK history?

All-Leyland PD2 CCK 606 was new to Ribble Motor Services in 1948 and came to OK Motor Services in 1962 when 14 years old. It gave five years' service before despatch to Morley's scrap yard at Shildon in 1967. This digitally-coloured image, based on an unaccredited black & white print, depicts CCK 606 at the Chester Road terminus in Bishop Auckland, about to work an Evenwood service (21-Jul-12).

Preserved Glasgow Corporation open top Leyland Titan PD2 L108, FYS 8 (ex-SGD 10, LDS 388 A, HSK 953) has bodywork built in the Corporation's own workshops and is pictured at an open day at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Turst's Bridgeton Bus Garage. This bus was converted to open top after an accident whilst on driver training duties, which probably aided its survival through the Greater Glasgow and later Strathclyde P.T.E. eras to pass to Strathclyde Buses before being sold into preservation. It later returned to revenue earning service when it was bought by Edinburgh based Mac Tours (#6). After Mac Tours was acquired by Lothian Buses (#28) this vehicle was again sold into preservation which didn't last long before returning to use on a Glasgow city tour operated by Glasgow Corporation Transport Limited, which was later acquired by First Glasgow, this bus being numbered 39998 in the First Group national numbering scheme. Its brief time with First Glasgow makes L108 the only bus ever to run for Glasgow Corporation, GGPTE, SPTE, Strathclyde Buses and First Glasgow. No other buses in existence can ever match this feat! Finally, it was sold to Glasgow City Council for (yet another) return to preservation and is presented in the livery it carried when new.

Looking very mush at home is Brighton No.51 , at the Steine - leaving the rally . No.51 is a Leyland PD2/37 - Weymann from 1958.
This smart rare PD2 was new Fishwick's in 02/1958 and built to the lowbridge design with the off-side sunken gangway on the top-deck. These must've been really awkward to travel on upstairs, whereby the seats are on the left hand side capable of seating four passengers with a bit of a step up to the seats, and if you were hemmed in by the window or even the middle pair with not much headroom to boot! It is seen here on Haws Hill, Carnforth, near the railway station and is heading for Morecambe while at the RVPT Running Day on 29/05/2016. © Peter Steel 2016.
