As someone who has been to many preservation events in Blackpool, I have ridden Blackpool 529 (as it was in Blackpool's fleet) quite a few times - a very good runner indeed.
Preserved Manchester City Transport Leyland Atlantean 1001 was in Timperley at around 09.30 this morning. It was in a car park surrounded by TV / Film makers support vehicles .
