P5690

Subject: Manchester C.T. 1308 (GNA 456)
Chassis: Daimler COG5
Body: English Electric H28/26R
Location: Preston, Abingdon Drive
Date: 1940

The lower saloon of 1308 shows the typical Manchester interior, a style that didn't change until the last postwar buses with Manchester's style of bodywork were delivered in early 1952.

The panel above the windows in the front bulkhead has a mirror on the nearside but a window on the offside to allow the driver to view the platform area through a mirror which can be seen. This panel was a typical Manchester feature.
