Come and ride on GMT Atlantean 8763, North Western Scania 1051 and first glimpse of partially restored GMT Olympian 3253. They are out and about around Warrington, Altrincham, Lymm and Knutsford. Services start at 12noon in Warrington , the Tavern and Altrincham Lay over stop ahead of the bus station

Is it true that 2009 (CMT Paladin) is now here after being sold by The 896 Bus Group to the WTT???

Yes it was collected from Kirkby a few days ago.

According to the DVLA database it's declared SORN at the moment with no indication of when it will return to the road.
Must be great fun to drive though, as being a Scania L113CRL it uses the massive 11.3 litre engine.
Its MOT also expired last month.
Anyway, from DVLA....

1051 (R51 XVM) NEW 01-08-1997, SORN in place, 11300ccDIESEL, MULTI-COLOUR.

As seen in June 2014 at a similar Beer-Bus run....
