Subject: Oldham C. T. 341 (EBU 871)
Chassis: Leyland Titan PD2/3
Body: Roe H31/25R
Location: Hollinwood, Wickentree Lane
Date: c.1950

Amongst my favourite of all Oldham buses (I did make an enquiry about preserving sister 342), 341 is in brand-new condition here and looking magnificent! The Roe coachbuilder’s transfer can be seen on the waistrail under the cab side window indicating it has yet to be repainted by Oldham. Behind 341 is one of the 1948 PD1s, distinguished by not having the distinctive Roe waistrail.
