This is another of my personal favourite photos as it features one of the most dramatic backdrops available in Saddleworth. The A62 road can been seen continuing in the distance, climbing out of Delph up to Standedge. What makes this photograph unusual is the sight of a Manchester PD2 here, as their appearences on this service were quite rare by this date and had been since before Manchester started working the Uppermill loop this way (they had hitherto only worked in the opposite direction). It was for this reason that I made the special trip to photograph 3716 and wasn't disappointed. It was also unusual as it carried the protoype stylised Greater Manchester Transport 'M' logo which was only ever carried by a few buses.
