Robi ◊ 2011-04-30 21:40	This is footage from 1940 I think, was the Titan built in that time?
carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-04-30 21:42	robi wrote This is footage from 1940 I think, was the Titan built in that time? Yes, from 1927 to 1942, before WWII, and from 1947 to 1970 afterwards.

Robi ◊ 2011-05-01 14:26	It was during WW2, when children from the big cities were evacuated to the countryside.
carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-05-01 15:12	robi wrote It was during WW2, when children from the big cities were evacuated to the countryside. Which means it's an early model.
chris40 ◊ 2011-05-01 16:55	Probably a later TD series - I'd suggest TD5.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2011-05-01 18:00	The Leyland Titan comment must be applied only to the front bus, although similar some of the others have six bay construction and different window shapes. I have found a picture of a TD5 in service with Blackburn, and although missing the between deck ventilators and the half drop windows in the front upper deck, most of the shapes look right to me. The bus entered srvice in 1938, and retired in 1957. Link to "www.google.co.uk"
ewood.eddie ◊ 2022-09-26 00:47	The bus at the front is almost certainly Crossley bodied and judging from the livery and especially the layout of the destination apeertures is a Manchester bus of the early to mid 1930s in my opinion it is a Crossley Mancunian of 1937 from part of a batch which included 580-589 A Manchester bus in the twilight of its days by Museum of Transport Greater Manchester archive, on Flickr -- Last edit: 2022-09-26 00:51:08
ewood.eddie ◊ 2022-10-13 23:37	It's definitely a Crossley body and definitely a Manchester Corporation bus the fleetnumber starts 58x so it is probably a Crossley Mancunian
