I took this photograph at the Heaton Park, Manchester at the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1995.
From the left there's a 1964 AEC Routemaster in the livery of Clydeside Scottish Omnibuses Ltd, a 1963 Manchester Corporation Daimler CVG6K, a 1958 Manchester Corporation Leyland Titan PD2/34, a 1957 Lancashire United Transport Guy Arab IV and the corner of a 1968 Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 in SELNEC livery.
Here's a view I took later looking down on the five vehicles, The Leyland Atlantean (HVM901F) isn't listed in the programme of the event, which has this to say about the other four:
M20 AEC Routemaster, Park Royal H64R, 1964 ALD913B
London Transport RM1913
Entered by Messrs Bentley, Cannon & Worsnop, Halifax
This vehicle is presented in the livery of Clydesdale Scottish, with whom it saw
service for three years following withdrawal by London Transport in 1986.
Purchased for preservation in 1991.
L15 Daimler CVG6K, Netro-Cammell H65R, 1963 4632VM
Manchester 4632
Entered by D.J.Talbot, Eccles
This vehicle was one of the last Daimler buses purchased by Manchester
Corporation and was withdrawn in 1978 and was secured for preservation
after an extended life,
L13 Leyland PD2/34, Burlingham H64R, 1958 TNA520
Entered by J.Crankshaw, Meltham, Huddersfield
This vehicle is unusual in that it originally entered service with a fully
automatic gearbox. It was later converted to semi-automatic, which is
itself unusual.
L14 Guy Arab IV, Northern Counties, 1957 116JTD
Lancashire United Transport 21
Entered by J.Crankshaw, Meltham, Huddersfield
A representative of the many similar vehicles which performed yeoman
service for the company.
This is another view of the five buses that I've cropped from another photograph.
