A mishap earlier in life assured 1956 Plymouth Metro-Cammell bodied Leyland PD2/12 a long and easy life when following a de-roofing accident it was converted into an oper-topper. I don't know if Plymouth Citybus still own it but it was still being used occasionally as the spare in the late-Nineties long after most of the fleet's much newer Atlanteans had come and gone. Alongside it in the early-Eighties was another elderly half-cab survivor used as a driver training bus, another Leyland Titan PD2/12 but this time with Leylands own boywork, former No.397 of 1953.
Very much still owned and cared for by Plymouth Citybus. Rarely used in service these days it is still used on private hires, and was out just this last week.
