Manchester Corporation Leyland PD2 No 3459 PND 459 with an MCW Orion H36/30R body is seen here at Southern Cemetery on Barlow Moor Road. The rear wheel trim discs were incorporated as standard when the vehicles were delivered new.Previous | NextPreserved Manchester City Transport 3460 PND 460 is a Leyland Titan PD2 built in 1956 with an MCW Orion H36/30R body and is seen here at the Manchester Museum of Transport on Boyle Street. 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.
