Saw ex-Bootle Dennis Lance/ East Lancs N212 TPK(think f/no 1942) this morning in Orrell, Wigan after finishing a school run. It's working for UK Coachways a Wigan independent firm. Thought these were all scrapped by now. It was in pristine condition in a white over blue livery.
One of these was painted in new colours not long before withdrawal, wonder if it was that one as probably had an overhaul at the same time.

It was N213 TPK mate, in fact I'm pretty sure that N218 TPK was as well but I can't find a photo of it.

Thanks, I was just wondering anyway, just 1 out.
remember them on 61s when i went to alder hey as a kid
Do any of the plaxton verde bodied lances survive or were they all scrapped? Always remember travelling on them on 61/As.

Can't have much wrong with 7660 as it is back out on 61 this morning.
