RVPTs White Lady, 1279, returned to Freckleton today after having been an exhibit
at the St Helens Transport Museum for the past couple of years.

   
1279 has the distinction of being the first of our vehicles to be housed, (albeit temporarily),
in the new building. On final completion of the new building, 1279 will move into the main
shed where work will resume on her internal refurbishment.]]> 30.08.10.

Happy to be able to report that 831 passed her MOT test at Martins of Middlewich today.
We left Leyland (where 831 has been garaged) shortly after 1100hrs this morning and joined
the M6 Southbound where we met up with Les Scott and his VRL.

   
Les had just collected Standerwick 60 from The Bus Works at Blackpool where it had been
receiving attention to the seats.

In fact the comments accompanying this photo suggest that 1817 has been broken up recently.

The journey from Freckleton to Middlewich was something of a 'road test' as 338 has
been off the road for almost a year and has just had a replacement engine fitted.
No problems were encountered on the trip.]]>
