Preserved GM Buses - 6990 DWH706W - Leyland Fleetline F30AGR - Northern Counties

            New to the Greater Manchester Transport owned Lancashire United operation, in 01/1981, numbered 613, this smart Fleetline had been restored in the L.U.T. version of the Greater Manchester Transport livery, however it received its current livery during 2022. It was the last Leyland Fleetline for GMPTE and is seen here  Charley Wood Road, Kirkby, Liverpool, during the North West Vehicle Restoration Trust's Open & Running Day on 04/06/2023. |t had not long returned from Prescot Railway Station along with preserved Greater Manchester Transport, 8001, XBU1S. With Leigh depot codes, this was new to Greater Manchester PTE in 06/1978 and the first Northern Counties bodied Leyland Fleetline built and the first in a batch of twenty. Also preserved GM Buses South 4116, HDB116V, again a Northern Counties bodied example. Preserved in Birkenhead & District livery, similar to the colours of the former Birkenhead Corporation Transport, this was new to the PTE, numbered 8116, in 04/1980. This livery was introduced during deregulation when MTL Merseybus began operations in Manchester so GM Buses South retaliated. All Fleetline's are of the FE30AGR designation. © Peter Steel 2023.
