Manchester 3445, PND445, Leyland PD2/12 - Metro Cammell H36/28R in Rochdale on the service from Manchester (Stevenson Square) operated jointly with Rochdale. Just four months old when this was taken, 3445 was from the batch of 60 Orion bodied vehicles delivered in 1956, all surviving to pass to Selnec in 1969.
