Manchester City Transport: Crossley 2136


Manchester City Transport used to have a small trolleybus depot on the Rochdale Road but these had long gone by 1966. However in a corner the garage yard was another endangered beast a 1948 Crossley DD42/75 double-decker with distinctive 'Manchester Streamlined' bodywork by the same manufacturer. Even Manchester's horrible lack of discretion turning everything red when masking in the paint-shop did not quite spoil the splendid look of the characterful buses and even today we remember these simple but effective slogans for Heinz Baked Beans.
