STOTTS OF OLDHAM
Turning into the bus station, is WDA975T, a Leyland Fleetline FE30AGR with MCW body that was new in December, 1978, to West Midlands PTE, and acquired from them, in 1989.
Looking just like a WMPTE bus but pressed into service with just a printed A4 sign in the front window is 1975 Daimler Fleetline/Park Royal GOG557N.
Unloading in Wrexham bus station I am not sure how long this lasted with Wright's.
November 1978. When WMPTE operated services well into Staffordshire.
One of the exhibits at Coventry Transport Museum is East Lancashire Coachbuilders bodied Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX PBU 125M which was new to Coventry Transport in September 1973. It passed to West Midlands PTE and was renumbered 1125 in April 1974. It was converted to a permanent open-top bus in 1986 and was used in the victory parade when Coventry City won the FA Cup in 1987. It was photographed on 5 June 2024.

ANDREW'S, SHEFFIELD
A line up of buses outside Sheffield Town Hall, with SDA647S, a Leyland Fleetline FE30AGR with Park Royal body at the front.
It had been new to West Midlands PTE in February, 1978, and acquired from them in 1990.
Note the typical Yorkshireman at the side of the bus in the middle, I think he has spotted a 10p coin on the road.
April 1982. Contrast and compare. Both are Daimler Fleetlines. One has elegant bodywork. One doesn't....
