That's right R874 - it's RML895. It was originally registered WLT 895

Great collection of pictures there thought the ex GM titan was being used on the day was it not available and the metrobus sustituted instead?

RE: North West Vehicle Restoration Trust (NWVRT)
GM Titan was swopped for Metro 5120 due to the latter being much warmer. Titans arent the warmest of vehicles.

The total raised on the day was in excess of £850 for the Braiden Lee Charity
