@petchelli @AndyBurnhamGM @ADLbus @BeeNetwork @BYDCompany The chassis and electrics on those are indeed Chinese but the body's are all designed and constructed in Scotland. Alexander Dennis now make their own electric bus chassis so future orders will be all British rather than half...

@SimpsonAlanj @NationalHways @mwayservices Do we know what happened to this sign? Would be such a shame if it were binned...

[Marc Huws @MarcMorganHuws]

Any serious W&D preservationists out there…?

Don't forget, it's North Western 100 this weekend @MoTGM Get yourself down and see the wonderful vehicles on display, some having travelled quite a distance to be here! Our own 408 and recently restored Matador recovery wagon are both in attendance!

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

Tyres are a big thing that sometimes get over looked, we think the front tyres on 4645 were the ones it left Crook Street depot on in 2002, making them well over 20 years old and some of the back ones, whilst abit newer, didn't look pretty! 😳 So, check your tyres folks!

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

We're a quaint group, a small band of merry folk, meaning some times, things are quiet and other times, it's mad busy!!! Following hot on the heels of 408, 4645 has had some new boots fitted!! Another step forward and next week, she'll get some mechanical attention too!

@DavidWh21085963 @MoTGM It'll be at the Museum of Transport next weekend for the North Western 100 event! 😁

As part of the NW100 celebrations, we've teamed up once again with Blinds by PWC to help get our 'ordered by North Western' Bristol VR back on the road for the event. Reliance Busworks have done a fantastic job on her MoT prep! Photo courtesy of M.Hearson.@MoTGM

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

It's all happening with our former North Western AEC Matador! Our painter broke out the brushes and the primer to make a start on transforming her back to red! Another step closer to NW100! @MoTGM

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

MORE NEWS!!!!

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

It's not just buses we like to get to grips with in this group! We managed to awake our coachpainter from his slumber to start work prepping our former North Western AEC Matador tow wagon to have it ready and shiny for the North Western 100 event @MoTGM in April!

[SELNEC Preservation @SELNECPS]

Journeys end... a good run out! Time to put 6990 back to bed!
