Doncaster ceased trolleybus operation in 1963. Like many new and rebuilt trolleybuses of the 1950s, they had well-built Roe bodies and eager to save money, Doncaster hated the idea of scrapping bodies which were not life-expired. Here we see two examples of this re-use of former trolleybus bodies. Doncaster 95, EDT704, was originally an all-Leyland PD2/1 of 1947 and given the body of trolleybus 397. 172, 172GDT, was a new Daimler CVG6 chassis fitted given the body of trolleybus 370.

After the 1952 all Leyland PD2/10s, Portsmouth bought no more new buses until 1956 when they succumbed to the attractions of the Metro Cammell Orion by taking delivery of 25 Leyland PD2/12 with Metro Cammell H30/26R bodies numbered 83-107, LRV975-999.
Photo taken February 1956, Commercial Road (nr Lake Rd), Portsmouth
1,013. LRV977
This photograph is a little misleading as at first sight the bus appears to be restored. In fact it's a testimony to quality of presentation and traditional style of Portsmouth's livery that make it look preserved. I believe the advert indicates its true role, which was a driver training vehicle. The preserved image is enhanced further by the fitment of an old Portsmouth blind dating from the era when motorbus services used letters.

I guess we all had to learn when we started taking bus photos but I got a few things wrong here in one of my very early shots like watchout for street signs in the way, make sure the bus is in the centre of the photo, hold the camera level and don't be too ambitious taking photos of fast moving buses when you have a fixed shutter speed camera. For the record it is Southend Weymann bodied Leyland PD2 303, MHJ925.

1,266. 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.
