In recent years vintage buses have been on show at the South East Bus Festival held annually at Detling. Seen here is a Leyland PD2/37 with Massey 64-seat bodywork which was once operated by Wigan Corporation. An unusual feature common to all Wigan vehicles was the pair of green lights either side of the front destination indicator. For a bus built in 1966 it has a somewhat dated appearance when compared to other vehicles available at the time.
