Travelling the Salford way …………. buses from the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester

Now there will be plenty of people who will have travelled on one of these, during the 1960s into the following decade.

And befitting their importance both are now happily part of the collection at the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester. *

The first is a Leyland Atlantean Double deck bus, and the second a Leyland Atlantean Double deck bus, from 1972, operated by SELNEC.**

Andy Robertson’s recorded the two on a recent visit to the museum, and I am indebted to their database for the details of each bus.***

  1. Remember how bad tempered and rude the bus drivers were back then?
