Oldham's ten PD3s were the first new buses for six years and the only front-entrance, front-engined buses in the fleet. They spent many years working the express services into Saddleworth, the higher seating capacity proving useful in those days. 103 was one of four of the batch to receive the pommard and cream livery and looks in good fettle in the winter sun of 18th February 1971 despite being nearly due for an overhaul.
