The RTW (W = wide) was the 8 ft wide version of the standard RT, and was built by Leyland Motors as a special version of their Titan PD2 model to suit LT standards. Seen here on driver training duties. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide The scene had changed surprisingly little by the early 20th century https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5200461 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5200481 although Tesco is now McDonald's and Lilley & Skinner (a national shoe chain) is now a barber's shop.
