| The traditional rear end of 1946 built Lytham St. Annes Leyland Titan PD1 19 seen in St. Annes on Seafront 12 in 2007 |
 |
| By contrast with 19, Blackpool's post war PD2s were centre entrance and had this unusual appearance at the rear - few double deck bodied look comfortable with neither a rear entrance or rear engine |
 |
| Blackpool's later PD2s and all PD3s featured traditional rear entrances as seen here on 379 |
 |
| PD3 512 enters Rigby Road yard passing Atlantean 317 showing the family 'bustle' effect of the rear engine. To the left of 512 is underfloor engined Lancet 598 with the unusual Marshall rear profile with a patterned upper half and plain lower half. |
 |
| Another Atlantean rear end - on Blackpool's last 364 |
 |
| The backs are in the background - with a Swift and newly purchased ex Crosville National and an Atlantean |
 |
| Optare products have had a family feel with moulded patterns around the rear window and a plain engine cover. Delta 104 passes through the now pedestrianised St John Square. |
 |
| The Optare look again on Metrorider 586 - these front engined buses omit the rear engine cover |
 |
| Solos are rear engined and lack a rear window - the 'glazing' is false. Early Solos and Excels were modified to remove the 'step' affect below the engine housing which tended to attract unwanted unofficial passengers |
 |
| The end of the Atlantean in 1984 saw off the 'bustle' - its replacement the Olympian and most buses since have had flush rear ends - often of plain style like this East Lancs Trident |
