A Leyland PD2 with what looks like a Massey Lowbridge body. Can anybody identify this bus please. It is a poor quality slide of mine and I am indebt to John Stringer for his efforts in scanning and improving it considerably from its original condition. The registration number looks like TVD 77 or possibly TYD 77 and the layout of the destination indicator looks to be quite unusual.
