Aston Manor Road Transport Museum, Aldridge - Winter Running Day - Leyland PD2 'Park Royal' bus ride

My visit to the Aston Manor Road Transport Museum in Aldridge on the afternoon and evening of Saturday 9th March 2024 for their annual Winter running day featuring a variety of heritage buses.

As part of this event heritage bus rides were available and so here is a snippet of my ride on Leyland PD2 'Park Royal' Birmingham City Transport fleet number 2222 built in 1950 from the museum to Walsall.

From the museum website:

2222 is the only survivor of a batch of 50 Leyland Titan buses with bodies by the London coachbuilder Park Royal supplied to Birmingham in 1949-50. They were always associated with Rosebery Street garage and were unusual in having few of the detailed design features associated with Birmingham City Transport. 2222 was one of a few that ended their working lives at Quinton garage; it was withdrawn in 1969 and sent for scrap, but was rescued from the scrapyard.

My thanks to everyone at the museum for putting on such a superb event.
