My patience was rewarded - 27 finally departed, so I could get a shot of 28 !
One from the main Charterplan coaching unit of GMPTE, based at the old North Western depot at Charles Street, Stockport, 28 was one of a pair of PSU3 Leopards in these colours that were new in 1980. Both were withdrawn at the end of 1985, but remained in the north west with their new operators. 28 found a home with GL Travel at Winsford, and later Roger Hill at Congleton, so would still have been making appearances here on NX duplicates. After a few years in the West Midlands, it returned to Manchester for a year in 1998, with Ashall's Coaches, but returned to the West Midlands for its final couple of years.
