Fleet no: 1375 (ECK 945)
Chassis: Leyland PD2
Body: Leyland (Final design) Lowbridge
Model: Modified Little Bus Company resin kit.
Notes: A member of the last batch of Leyland bodied buses supplied to Ribble. The flush windowed design (Often erroneously referred to as the 'Farington' design) was Ribble's final version of a body that had evolved only slightly since the mid 1930's. The kit is modified by the addition of rear platform doors and emergency exit. Superb advert transfers are by Frank Howard.

Blackpool PD2/27 bus 330, Warbreck Hill Road, opposite Armadale Road, Blackpool N.S. November 1972
I seem to remember that the bus had slid down the hill on black ice and the driver Mick Pass managed to stop it just short of a large hole in the road. I was on my way to college at the time and just happened to have my camera with me.
1973 was my last year as a student conductor at BCT and this was one of the buses i worked on that summer season.
The bus was taken out of passenger use in May 1974 and was used as a DTV 1974 - June 1976. It left Blackpool Transport in July 1976

Recently repainted and about to go on hire to LT as a training vehicle, RTL 1427 was regular on the rally fields for many years. It is now located in (New Zealand.) Shoreham!!!! Not quite so exotic. I must have dropped line when reading my notes when putting the captions together. Thanks for the correction.
..and not a Routemaster, despite the RM plate! Think the PD2 was from South Wales originally. Stretched NY Taxi alongside, this was massive!

Manchester PD2 with lightweight 'Orion' bodywork still has some of the vinyls on it from its filming back in 2008 for Heartbeat series 18 episode 9; 'The Hospital Job' first shown on 03/05/2009 when it appeared as the bus for travelling Taoist Monks.
The bus hasn't been on the road since but a recent change of ownership within the Museum will see it having further restoration work being carried out over the coming months and a welcome return to the road for this former playbus

3228 was the 29th out of a batch of 65 PD2s (3200-3264) that were the last buses to carry bodies to Manchester's own pre-war specification. The vehicle entered service in October 1951 and was finally withdrawn from service, having latterly been used as a driver training vehicle by SELNEC, in 1971. 3228 was repainted in March 1997 into a slightly modified version of Manchester's later almost all red livery.
