Yelloway FDK 420D in Rochdale - Summer 1969

Summer 1969 - Yelloway FDK 420D stands beneath the prominent Yelloway coach station signboard at Weir Street, Rochdale ready to work the 1600 motorway express (‘flyer’) service to London. It would have worked the morning ‘flyer’ from London earlier in the day arriving in Rochdale at 1411. It was one of the 1966 intake of six Plaxton Panorama bodied AEC Reliances and the one I also considered my favourite after previously taking a trip on it for a day in London.
