BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

AEK 1B in Manchester

Former Wigan Corporation 146 taken into the Greater Manchester PTE fleet, this Massey bodied Leyland PD2A/27 of 1964 was seen in the early Eighties in Manchester by which time it had become a driver training vehicle.

A little later than the early 80s, maybe? The fleetnames are "GM Buses", so I'd guess 1985 or 1986...
Training vehicles seem to be less interesting nowadays, just like much else in the modern bus industry!

Yes you are right later in the Eighties.

Is this bus still around anywhere?
