Thanks for everyone's help and comments. Now all I have to find out is the initial fleet allocations!!!

800 (HCK466) was originally registered as WVR60X for National Travel North West in 1982, then reregistered DCM552X as North Western 800 between 1986-1988. HCK466's last known use was as a Leyland PD2 training bus for Ribble.

No ex-Ribble VRs were transferred to North Western, or were used in general service with Ribble in Liverpool at all, aside from a couple that were used for the Garden Festival service 401 in 1984. This oddity was operated by Ribble (and Crosville for that matter) to shore up their guaranteed mileage agreement with MPTE.

HCK466 was once on 900 a 1986 BMW730i SE Auto 4 door saloon in 1991 according to a 1992 fleetlist!

Brings back a lot of memories all this!
