RE: MTL Manchester
CMT Buses owned 1079(UPB 309S), 1080(UPB 317S) and 1082(UPB 308S) all short 10.3 metre (10351) models according to the handbook.

Getting back to MTL Manchester, the MTL 52xx series were also all shorter 10351 models with 5210, 5211 and 5212 being the only B-series Nationals allocated to Manchester (wasn't the depot in Norton Street, Miles Platting?).

The MTL 60xx and 61xx series were all of the longer 11.3 metre (11351) version.
