Taken in April 1969, this photo shows a 1968 Daimler Fleetline 33 feet long with Park Royal bodywork leaving Piccadilly on route 100 to Woodhouse Park via Moss Side and Wythenshawe. The vehicle is operated by Manchester City Transport and has 73 seats with a front entrance and centre exit suitable for one-man operation. Its bright livery of red and white was short-lived as MCT was taken over by SELNEC Passenger Transport Executive on the 1st November 1969, and an orange and white livery was subsequently adopted for its vehicles.
