	The B51 Ill-fated design built on Duple jigs. Shame as the ones United counties had where reliable but then again thats the Leyland chassis for you. Posted by David Farrow (guest) on Fri 20 Aug 2010 22:42:37 BST

	Whiteway Coach (DCC125) DCC125 is a Bedford SBG Chassis with a Duple C38F Body. It was acquired by Whiteways in 1955 and disposed of in 1982. (Ref. 'Whiteway of Waunfawr' by Bill Rear - 2001). Posted by R. Owen (guest) on Tue 17 Aug 2010 11:34:54 BST
	York-West Yorkshire Yes - this vehicle had seating for 60 passengers. New in November 1951, its fleet number was Y814, re-numbered YDB82 in April 1954. Originally, it had a large three part destination blind. Posted by Roy Burke (guest) on Sun 23 May 2010 11:39:31 BST
	West Riding routes This is clearly taken outside the old Hammonds, (later Charringtons), Brewery in Tadcaster, not in York. As I recall, West Riding's only route into York was from Selby. What route did they have to Tadcaster? Posted by Roy Burke (guest) on Sun 23 May 2010 11:25:18 BST
	Identification This is a 1966 Leyland PD2 with Metro-Cammell body ex-Salford City Transport, from the FRJxxxD batch Posted by Dave (guest) on Wed 28 Apr 2010 19:20:38 BST
	Minor correction Leon acquired this bus in 1958, which is when withdrawals of standard postwar RTs began in earnest. The non-standard Craven-bodied examples had gone in 1956/7. Posted by Dave (guest) on Tue 27 Apr 2010 21:40:27 BST
	Points of interest Assuming the date of the photograph to be accurate the vehicle would be brand new and, at the time, PMT's only Fleetline (they had previously bought Atlanteans). Bus Lists On The Web gives it as a 73-seater and therefore by current convention this would make it H73F, since, despite being lowheight, there would have been full-length gangways on both decks. A few months later PMT acquired an almost identical Fleetline of similar vintage when it took over the business of Becketts, of Bucknall (83 XEH). Although this vehicle would have been 'lowheight' by most operators' standard it wasn't quite as low as PMT's own lowbridge/lowheight vehicles, therefore PMT gave it an 'H' prefix to its fleetnumber (H992) and it was PMT's only Fleetline to have such a prefix, all subsequent deliveries being prefixed 'L'.
