Numerically the first of its batch is Mercedes-Benz Citaro 301. A large batch of these came new to Oldham but all moved to Bury in 2005. On 29th December 2000 301 has almost completed the climb out of Denshaw and is passing the Ram's Head Inn (known affectionately as Th'owd Tup). This pub was a mecca for beer enthusiasts in the 1970s as it was the only one in the area to serve beer by gravity - straight from the barrel into an enamel jug and then into your glass. The fastest beer service I've ever seen.
