In the days prior to the Nationalisation of buses of England and Wales in 1969 much of the bus industry was comprised of two major groups.
One was the ‘Transport Holding Company’ (THC) which was already government owned and the other was the ‘British Electric Traction Federation’ (BET) which was privately owned.
One of the constituent companies that made up ‘BET’ was ‘Potteries Motor Traction’ or as it was better known ‘PMT’ which today is part of ‘First’ group
The company operating in an around Stoke-on-Trent and the associated Potteries towns.

Unusual in that the chassis dates from 1949 when it carried a single deck Weymann body which was rebodied by ‘NCME’ in 1954.
The ‘L’ in the number indicates that the bus is of ‘Lowbridge’ layout.
