Manchester Corporation 3496 (TNA 496) posing near the Middleton Road entrance to Heaton Park. 3496, a Leyland PD2 with Burlingham bodywork first entered service in 1958. It remained in service (latterly with SELNEC) until it was withdrawn in 1975. It spent a further seven years working as a canteen/workshop until it was bought for preservation and restored with the final version of the Manchester City Transport (Manchester Corporation) livery which it would have carried immediately before the take over by SELNEC in 1969.
