RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
I didn't really have the time or anything to hand to write any numbers down although it did cross my mind. They were all in states that suggests they'd been there for a while, though. One was S207 JUA at least. |

4012 would have been in there, seen a photo of that somewhere. |

Ex-3329 (R329 WVR) could be a scrapper (been untaxed since June 2013). Fortunately, the future is brighter for some others.... Ex-3330 (R330 WVR) now with Andrews Coaches..... https://www.flickr.com/photos/bigdan14025/15628713007/ (Photo Credit; Daniel Mears) Whilst ex-3331 (R331 WVR) is now with Hamilton's of Desborough.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/116535434@...260841935/ (Photo Credit; Mutly's Fots) ....As is ex-3334 (R334 WVR).... https://www.flickr.com/photos/mcw1987/19305925355/ (Photo Credit; MCW 1987) Meanwhile, ex-3309 (R309 WVR) has left Harpurs of Derby and is now with Nu-venture of Kent.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/robofkent/18606420541/ (Photo Credit; Rob of Kent) Whereas ex-3310 (R310 WVR) is staying there! As seen with the superb Cummins L10-powered luxury Wirral Palatines ex-3294 (N294 CKB) and ex-3297 (N297 CKB).... https://www.flickr.com/photos/guy_arab_uf/13928647351/ (Photo Credit; Guy) But I've saved the best 'til last! The NWVRT's preserved ex-3317 has been restored to its original condition! It's now back to MTL North 0317 (R317 WVR).... https://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny400/18128144349/ (Photo Credit; warren hawkins) BEAUTIFUL!

Great to see so many still doing the rounds, if they were still in service on Merseyside they'd put the rest of the fleet to shame in terms of acceleration and ride comfort - definitely my favourite buses. |

Just passed thru Whittlesey, a number of ex LS palatines still visible from the railway line in the yard of Deckerbus. |

0302 has been painted all white and has been retrimmed. 0301 has been trimmed into the old arriva tyne bridge and looks good |

Love to know who designed the Tyne bridge covers because in my opinion they are horrible. |
