Leyland Atlantean - SELNEC PTE was the South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire Passenger Transport Executive, who ran the bus service! This one's now preserved.

I believe it's ex SELNEC 7001 (VNB101L) with PArk Royal bodywork.
1 star

...but I was wrong! I've been advised this was actually ex SELNEC EX1 (PNF941J) and therefore a 1971 Leyland Atlantean PDR1 with Northern Counties body, not a 1973 Atlantean AN68 with Park Royal body! EX1 is owned by theSELNEC Preservation Society

Ep 2.01 - in this the bus is a murder scene and therefore 3 stars at least....

I would also say 3 stars as it is a crime scene in ep 2.01.

Northern Counties were based in Wigan, Greater Manchester. They are usually identifiable by the air vent on the top of the windows.

SELNEC had a fleet of "experimental" vehicles and EX1 was its prototype standard doubledecker. The bodywork was used on a variety of chassis, primarily Fleetlines and Atlanteans. Fleetline 7232 has bodywork by Northern Counties and ended its days converted as a mobile exhibition unit. EX1 is a Park Royal bodied Atlantean. The two buses are seen at Millennium Showbus.
