Swinging round the roundabout that was once at Market Place on 16th March 1963, and looking as if the front offside wheel is about to lose contact with the road, is North Western 253. By this time the Dennis Lolines had started to appear and these lowbridge buses were disliked even more by the regular passengers. They suffered significantly by comparison as 7' 6" wide lowbridge buses compared with the 8' wide highbridge buses which were by then the standard fare of the other joint operators on the service.
