298. PBU959
Oldham bought 90 PD2s with tin fronts. They had a variety of bodies, Roe being the favoured builder, but two orders featured Northern Counties bodies, such as PBU959. These didn't quite have the elegance of the Roe body and, when new, suffered by comparison as they weren't lined out, but they were attractive buses. This vehicle has just come back from overhaul at Stockport who made a very nice job of it and it retained many more original features than it would have done if overhauled at Oldham. Because it wasn't a full five-year recertification it has retained Oldham livery as more coats of paint would have been required to ensure the orange and white livery covered the old scheme.

From 1971 onwards, Southend Transport operated special services on Boxing Day, including routes outside their normal area.

It was always operated by the newest double deckers in the fleet, such as 382, GHJ382L, seen here on layover between journeys, and sometimes required duplication - helped by the absence of any train services from Southend to London on Boxing Day!
