replacement fleet a total of 41 Leyland PD1 and PD1A
vehicles arrived in 1946 and 1947 in four separate batches.
The two batches of PD1A's had Leyland bodies as had
the first batch of PD1's. The second batch, though,
were quite different in having bodies by Crossley.
No.'s 85-94 entered service in Blackburn between May
and July 1947.
These vehicles were built by Lancashire Aircraft (re-named
Samlesbury Engineering from April 1st 1947) using parts
supplied by Leyland.
All were in service for over 20 years except No. 84
which was withdrawn in 1964.
