RE: North West Vehicle Restoration Trust (NWVRT)
The NWVRT were superbly represented by KHCT 718 and GMT 81 this weekend at Showbus. The former was an excellent ride there and back and coped very well indeed with what was an undoubtedly a long and hard journey. Ive heard 81 performed faultlessly also. We're now starting to wind down for the winter which will see restoration commence on a few of our residents! Theres still a few rally appearances to come yet though, notably Wirral Bus and Tram, when the fleet will be represented by.... Well, youll see on the day!!!! RIP 96 - YNWA |

Out of the fleet is B360 LOY due to change in ownership. Will post confirmation of new arrivals later this week, however vehicles at Kirkby will differ slightly as owners prepare their vehicles for Wirral Bus and Tram. RIP 96 - YNWA |

Some excellent news is that N302 CKB isn't far off being finished! The rear end has now had major work done in order to strengthen it. Now that the engine cover has been fitted, there are just a few minor touches to do before we can finish off painting it! RIP 96 - YNWA |

It is possible that 6592 will be operating one of those feeders, so just a heads up for anyone who'd like a ride on it at it's first Merseyside based rally since going back on the road! RIP 96 - YNWA |
