18. PBU931 ... Most of Oldham's PD2s that received the SELNEC orange livery were from this batch of Roe-bodied PD2/30s, but only about half of the batch of 24 were done before the decision was made to not fully re-certify them.

27. 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. (Sun 16/5/71, Wallshaw Street Garage)

28. PBU960 ... This Leyland PD2/30 with Northern Counties body and with its distinctive grille was new as Oldham Corporation 460, PBU960, but by January 1972 had reached Paton Brothers, Renfrew via SELNEC PTE 5360. (February 1972, Paton's Depot, Tower Garage, Ferry Road, Renfrew)
