MWY119 was a Bristol LD6B Lodekka with ECW H33/25RD bodywork, new as West Yorkshire DX10 in September 1954.
This batch of Lodekkas had differing rear end window arrangements; DX3-8 had the conventional larger lower deck windows, but the balance, DX9-13, had these narrower examples.
It was new to Leeds on 1 October 1954; note the original rear lighting arrangements, which were changed for rectangular units when flashing trafficators were fitted in 1962. These first Lodekkas, up to DX13, had full destination displays at front and rear; from DX14 they only had them at the front, with a 'T'display at the rear. DX10 was altered to 'T'displays at front and rear on last overhaul in 1967; it was withdrawn at the end of April 1971, had a spell with Elkes Biscuits at Uttoxeter and was then exported to the USA, where it was last reported in 1975.
