409 was the only one of this batch of Crossley-bodied PD2s to actually run for SELNEC. This shot is in very early SELNEC days as the bus has SELNEC legal lettering but still has the small Oldham coat-of-arms on the grille. The story of this batch can be found with the picture of 410 in the 153 collection. Evidence of the rebuilding can be seen in the windows - those downstairs, where the rebuilding took place, are flush fitting whilst the upstairs ones are recessed.
