This Atherton based Fleetline was new to the then Greater Manchester Transport owned Lancashire United(586), in 03/1980 and is seen here at Bolton Bus Station in July 1982. It is seen in the company of Bolton based 7076, WBN954L, a Park Royal bodied Leyland Atlantean AN68/1R, new to SELNEC in 09/1972. Were these the first of the Manchester 'Standards'?(See comments below). My first thoughts were right.
The film used was Agfa Colourslide with the camera being a Praktica MTL3.
