Mancunian double-decker bus

The Mancunian double-decker bus is a type of bodywork for double-decker bus designed by Manchester Corporation Transport Department and built on Leyland Atlantean and Daimler Fleetline chassis. A total of 472 Mancunians were ordered by the department between 1965 and 1968 and delivered from 1968 until 1972 with bodywork by Park Royal, East Lancs, Metro Cammell and Charles H Roe. The first 96 buses ordered used a chassis, but the majority were long. A further 20 were built for Salford City Transport but were delivered new to SELNEC PTE.
Nine have been preserved.
