Another of the secondhand buses bought by Oldham during the crisis in the mid-sixties was this batch of four Leyland PD2/10s with Leyland's own bodywork. These looked very smart and must have been in good condition as they lasted well into the SELNEC era. This one is 475 which was the very last of all the secondhand acquisitions in service, being withdrawn in August 1971. This batch were the only buses delivered new to Sheffield in the short-lived all over green livery and it was this vehicle, as Sheffield 656, which was used for the manufacturer's photo of the batch. 475 heads away from Greenfield Paper Mill on 15th February 1971.
