Subject: Ashton C.T. 9 (TE 5781)
Chassis: Karrier WL6
Body: English Electric B32F
Location: Luzley, Mossley Road?
Year: 1928?

A second interior view of what is assumed to be 9. As the bus carries Ashton Corporation notices it is assumed to be in Ashton and taken at the same time as P3348. The notices describe the bus services in operation at the time which were:

1 - Smallshaw
2 - Hurst
3 - Haddens via Mossley
4 - Droylsden

These numbers were eventually changed, but it is an interesting record of the Haddens service. Haddens was beyond Mossley towards Saddleworth and the service was cut back to top Mossley by August 1928 when North Western reached agreement with SHMD to extend their Saddleworth services (which terminated initially in Haddens) into Mossley.

The original print is labelled P3446 but this is likely to be an error, although unlike other instances of this type of error, there is no known image with reference P3446.
