I thought it might be worth illustrating the use of Parker Street Bus Station on a destination blind well after you would have expected it to stop. SELNEC PD2 5688, 88ETU, originally 88 in the SHMD fleet, is in Hyde bus station in September 1972 working a service which only commenced operation well after it became known as Piccadilly, the 208 being a service to the overspill estate at Hattersley as shown by Manchester PD2 3656, 9856NA, heading the other way.
