The most recent Sheffield Transport Study Group Journal has an item on it which says- "the interior colour scheme was mainly red, and about the same time Alexander had supplied some basically similar PDR!/!s to Northern General group, so kit is possible that 369 was a surplus vehicle".Or maybe, that ot was built on spec as an add-on to the order and offered to Sheffield cheap in the hope of further orders- Sheffield had ordered the 20 Regent Vs (861-880)which arrived around the same time. But that's speculation.Dennis Dratnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-81608690992594062452019-08-02T09:14:21.723+01:002019-08-02T09:14:21.723+01:00The photograph does look like an early Alexander b...The photograph does look like an early Alexander body (others were delivered to Newcastle). 369 was registered 1369 W, which resembles that in the photo.<br />I'm pretty certain Mann Egerton had abandoned the PSV industry by the late 1950s - the two Titans RLT mentions were new in 1951, according to the excellent www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk.Man of Kentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-53395344426717605712019-08-02T09:00:51.629+01:002019-08-02T09:00:51.629+01:00Sheffield had two of the ten or so double-deck bod...Sheffield had two of the ten or so double-deck bodies produced by Mann Egerton. They were Leyland Titan PD2s (361/362), and that is 361 above. The only one-off Atlantean was No. 369 with an Alexander body - not the only Alexander Atlantean in the Sheffield fleet, but the only 'early' one, supplied to the city in 1960.RLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626240025799743043noreply@blogger.com
