We have recently been disposing of a number of buses which had been acting as donors to our restoration projects. In addition we disposed of a pair of ex-Stagecoach Volvo / Plaxton coaches which had been earmarked for restoration but eventually were considered impractical.
We are close to completing the restoration of former Ribble Leyland National 382 which has allowed us to scrap two early Nationals which had provided parts. 372 was similar to 382 while 381 was from the same batch but had served as our exhibition bus for some years. Also removed is former Halton National 19 which had been used as a store shed.
A former Crosville Bristol RELH coach which donated parts to Ribble 1019 has also gone. Ribble Royal Tiger 386 which at one time was in Northern Ireland has been a donor for now fully restored 377 and is being prepared for disposal.
