The glitter lady inside the luurrve bus at last night’s corporate event was absolutely genius! Epic #riversidebarns #bestnightever #letsgetthisviral 👌💃🙌

I never saw her, but glad you enjoyed her services .!

[@andrewbutler6477]

Old Leyland pd2 my late uncle drove these buses with Merthyr Tydfil transport was hard work driving them in the valleys with no power steering but were good old buses

[@lewisbower2137]

Yeah I bet they gave the arms a workout !! Next chapter of bus refurb is released tomorrow night !!! Bus resto is fun !!

[@colmone5592]

I went to school on it when it was brand new. Apart from the E registration it looked exactly like the older ones. Stockport Corporation also had a 1969 one which was front entrance with automatic folding doors. Very rare.

[@chrisredding6673]

Really nice to see this. I used to catch one the same to school in Warrington. We all preferred the open platform because the school was near a 'T' junction half way between stops, so we all used to hop off there. 🙂

[@lizhaydon2250]

Cool bus

[@geebee6737]

I learnt to drive in one of these with a crash gearbox.

[@derykjohnson5137]

Me to way back in 1980!!!

[@IN_THIS_DAY_AND_AGE]

New to Stockport corporation in 1967. It was transferred to SELNEC, Southern division, when the PTE was created and allocated to Tameside depot. Later, with a Manchester driver training school and then a travellers home.

How did you know all that ..??? That’s crazy ..!!

[@highpath4776]

JA reg, was that Stockport or Manchester LVO ?

[@IN_THIS_DAY_AND_AGE]

@High Path JA was the identifier for Stockport Manchester were NA to NF, VM, VR, VU, XJ. At that time Stockport was in Cheshire and Manchester was Lancashire. All changed with the 1974 government reorganisation and the formation of Greater Manchester. SELNEC became the GMPTE.

Good for you.

You did a wonderful job..!!! Mindy manchett and Micky manchett would be proud ..!😂😂😂

[@darleytransportandtravel6353]

What a wonderful and exciting project. Smoking was always allowed upstairs on double deckers and dog policies were different depending on the company.

[@albertkirky5740]

Interesting video spoilt only by the music🤔 not necessary really?

[@BusesJourneysMore]

Interesting video just a real shame the background music was so loud, it was difficult to hear what the guy was saying.

[@lewisbower2137]

The guy was me ..!!! Ps.. check Out the next bus video , my man turned the music down..!! Cheers Lewis

Crash box? No power steering? Lotsa rust? Sounds great

[@lewisbower2137]

Good job it’s never going to drive again !! Ps the rust is annoying though !!

[@davidjones332]

Synchromesh on 3rd & 4th on the Leyland PDs, crash 1st & 2nd.

[@johnbrown6342]

I also passed my test in 1965 on a 1947 model from Nottingham. Baseford Transport driving school. Has this one got a crash box.? it seems earlier than 1967.

[@lewisbower2137]

What’s a crash box 📦???

[@Varinki]

@@lewisbower2137 A gearbox with unsynchronized gears.

[@FrustratedApe]

@@Varinki It doesn't look like it has an engine fitted.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Pity it wasn't an AEC but it'll do the job.

[@lewisbower2137]

If an Aec is a route master then yeah ..!! As long as it had a rear staircase and half cab I was happy … routmaster things were loads of money ..!!!

Nah you did well. RMs have gone through the roof.

Restore it ??

[@lewisbower2137]

I’ll reveal its future in the next video for you !

[@RoryTV1]

Are you sure that is not a re-reg job, because the model design says early 1950s not late 60s

[@lewisbower2137]

That’s a clever spot ..!! I’ll check the v5 ..! What’s the best way to find out .?

[@johnwakefield2083]

No its the original number HJA949E Leyland PD2/40 chassis No L64194 East Lancs body No 6484 H36/28R new 3/1967 Stockport fleet No 49

[@michaelkeen5010]

It’s an East Lancs body and is similar to several batches of St.Helens fronted PD3’s delivered to Leicester City Transport up until late 1967 on ‘F’ plates.

[@highpath4776]

@@johnwakefield2083 I cannot remember, were Stockport one of the towns that demanded the PD2 (simple, less new systems than the (Heavier?) PD3 ) for as long as possible ?

Smells like an old persons bedroom ? Thats not a nice thing to say, because one as got older it dose not mean we are not able to keep ourselves and where we live clean so i think maybe you should choose your words a bit more carefully.

Fair point..!! Next week I’ll mention something smelling like a teenagers bedroom to even things out .!!
