Subject: Manchester C.T. 1305 (GNA 453) Chassis: Daimler COG5 Body: English Electric H28/26R Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works Date: 1940
The lower saloon of one of the batch of Daimler COG5s, presumed to be 1305 from other photographs where the bus can be identified.
On the rear bulkhead is a holder for a bus guide which was not to be taken away, but usually was if it was ever put there. The notice case below was used for displaying fare tables for the depot to which the bus was allocated. For these Daimlers this was Princess Road when new and usually for their whole life.
