However, a distinct difference between these and their Daimler CVG6 counterparts (4480-4489 NNB 290-299) was visibly evident in that, the CVG6s had a slide-opening cab door like the London Routemasters whereas the PD2s like this one seen here and the Daimler CVG5s (4490-4509 PND 490-509) had the conventional push-pull cab door.

3698_3698VM.jpg	This Selnec liveried vehicle is 3698 (3698 VM) which is an ex-Manchester Corporation Leyland PD2 with a Metro-Cammell H37/28R body and is seen here turning into Piccadilly Bus Station on a peak-hour service. This was one of 25 vehicles (3696-3720) in this batch to have front-end ventilators above the lower deck as seen here.
4155_KND916.jpg	Manchester City Transport 4155 KND 916 is a Daimler CVG6 with a Metro-Cammell body seen here on a Cross-City route from Chorlton to Hollinwood on the western outskirts of Oldham. The entire fleet in this batch of vehicles were allocated new to Princess Road Depot in the 1950s. One of these (4127 JND 728) is currently preserved at the Manchester Museum of Transport in the same livery as this one.
4589_9589NA.jpg	Manchester City Transport 4589 (9589 NA) is a 1961 Daimler CVG6 with a Metro-Cammell H37/28R body seen here in Piccadilly on the peak-hour 88 route from Chorlton to White Moss. 4589 was one of ten vehicles (4580-4589) in this batch fitted with a pre-selector gearbox and air brake operated. None of these were ever repainted into Selnec PTE livery despite being part of its fleet during their last four years in traffic. The depot code sticker (PS) as seen here below the driver's windscreen were applied on all Selnec PTE vehicles from 1973 and 4589 as seen here was allocated to Princess Road depot.
4643_4643VM.jpg	Of identical appearance to 4632 is 4643 (4643 VM) seen here at the East Didsbury terminus of the 96 route from Whitefield. Both the 95 & 96 route were jointly operated by Manchester & Salford Corporation and, in this view at East Didsbury, the vehicle behind 4643 is a Salford front entrance Leyland PD2 from 1966 on the 95 route to Whitefield which is 277 JRJ 277E.

6175_NDK975.jpg	Part of the Rochdale Corporation fleet and later the Northern Division of Selnec PTE was this Weymann H33/28R bodied AEC Regent V. 6175 NDK 975 fitted with a Gardner 6LW engine and pre-selector gearbox was one such vehicle seen here working on one of the town's internal routes. Its sister vehicle 6180 NDK 980 is currently preserved at the Manchester Museum of Transport in original livery and now carries the original fleet number 280. What I liked about these Rochdale vehicles was their engine sound which was very distinct to the 62xx class. The 61xx vehicles from 6168 to 6196 had the sound of a Manchester Corporation (31xx) Leyland PD1 whereas the 62xx vehicles had the sound of an AEC London Routemaster when travelling from a standing start. 
6219_TDK319.jpg	This is the offside view of 6219 TDK 319, an AEC Regent V seen here at Rochdale. 6219 was the first of the last four (6219-6222) that was fitted with platform doors as depicted in the next photo and is seen here working on the 24 route to Manchester Stevenson Square which was one of two Manchester routes on which these vehicles operated.  The second Manchester route was the 17 to Cannon Street which was routed via Castleton & Middleton.

The 96 was one of four routes across Central Manchester that was jointly operated by Salford Corporation as seen here and Manchester Corporation as can be seen in the next photo. The other three routes that were operated jointly by the two municipal operators were the 57 from Swinton to Thornley Park, the 77 from Pendlebury to Reddish(Bulls Head) and the 95 from Whitefield to East Didsbury on which these Daimlers were regularly used on those routes as well as this one.

Notice the twin hopper vents on the front facing windows on the upper deck which had since been removed. However, 3525 UNB 525 was the only vehicle in this batch of 100-strong to retain this feature throughout its working life. This was the original Manchester Corporation livery when 3550 had entered service in 1958.

4438_NNB248.jpg	A frontal view of Metro-Cammell bodied Daimler CVG6 No 4438 NNB 248 as seen here at Piccadilly Bus Station.  Despite the application of the new helvetica design fleet number on the radiator cover, 4438 had retained its Manchester Corporation livery in what was clearly the Selnec era. The new design of fleet numbers were applied to these vehicles in 1973.
4446_NNB256.jpg	Amongst the 80-strong Metro-Cammell bodied (4400-4479) Daimlers, 4446 NNB 256 from Northenden Garage was one of only three vehicles in this batch to receive a repaint into Selnec PTE livery during the 1970s.

The Salford vehicles and their Manchester counterpart were designated to the Central Division of the PTE network when Selnec was formed in 1969. Accordingly, the Leyland vehicles of both the Atlantean and PD2 variants acquired the 3xxx fleet number whereas their Daimler counterpart acquired the 4xxx fleet number when they were renumbered. This strategic method of fleet renumbering was based on the Manchester Corporation principle in order to differentiate between Daimler and Leyland vehicles with identical bodywork within the Central Division fleet.

190_ARJ190B.JPG	Salford Corporation No 190 ARJ 190B with an H36/28F Metro-Cammell body is seen here on Colgate Lane at Manchester Docks. It was the second of two Daimler CCG6s new to the operator in 1964 as part of a Vehicle Evaluation Programme as the majority of vehicles in the Salford fleet comprised of Leyland PD2s and Daimler CVG6s regarding the half-cab buses. Both 189 and 190 were not popular with the bus crews who had driven them as the combination of a Guy constant-mesh gearbox on a Daimler chassis was deemed incompatible thus making gear changes rather difficult. It was the same situation for the Manchester Corporation bus crews who had driven 4650-4654 which were also Daimler CCG6s, but had an H37/28R Metro-Cammell body when new in 1963.
