Operator: Bury C.T.
Fleet No: 52
Registration No: EN 6051
Chassis: Leyland Titanic TT3
Body: English Electric H30/30C
Year: 1935

A rear three-quarter view of 51 shows the central emergency exit downstairs. Also visible is a stop light and direction indicator cluster of a style I associate much more with Oldham as it was standard there for many years.

Bury experimented with entrance layouts. Their earlier double-deckers had been (with an odd exception) dual-entrance with two staircases. In 1934 one Crossley and one Leyland were bodied by English Electric (photos of these don't seem to have survived) with centre-entrance bodies, these having the more usual four-wheel chassis. After the Titanics Bury adopted the more usual rear entrance until the arrival of the Wulfrunian in 1960.
