Morecambe & Heysham Titan No. 88 - a photo on Flickriver

Morecambe & Heysham Titan No. 88

An old photograph taken in Marine Road West (Clarendon Hotel is in the background) by its junction with Albert Road, Morecambe, of Morecambe & Heysham Corporation Transport (MHCT) bus fleet No. 88 (registration 34MTD) showing 'Higher Heysham via Promenade' and 'Heysham Harbour Station' destination blinds.

The photo reverse is stamped with the name of transport photographer J. Copland and the date 4 Apr 1972.

No. 88 was new to MHCT in Mar 1960 comprising a Leyland Titan PD2/37 chassis No. 592855 and a Massey body No. 2378 seating 64 (H37/27D). It transferred to Lancaster City Transport in Apr 1974 being converted to open top (O37/27F) in Nov 1977, in March of the following year it was renumbered as No. 34. It was sold to Martin of Middlewich (a dealer) in Sep 1979 and in Jul 1980 was sold on to the tour company Suntrekkers. I found a reference to it being with a dealer (Ensign of Purfleet) in 1986 and it being "cut up" in the late 1990s.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
