I presume it is safe to say now that none of Presidential's palatines can be considered preserved. Or to put it another way there are no preserved cross-river Palatines |

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Its been redone again Andy thats why i said its been retrimmed and you are correct SNL. 0302 was preserved for a time but was sold to its current owner who uses it daily |

275 is presidential travel. As far as I know 275/291/299/301/302 are all plain white now. I am no longer active on this forum. |

The ex merseyside 1s were always quite rateable whilst at winsford: 3311 3329 3330 3334 They drove decently enough apparently according to a driver mate of mine. Although a couple of curious bits were they had a plastic rear kinda bench seat upstairs & had twin destination blinds on the front. Plus anybody aware where some of the macc palatines buggered off to? My personal favourites were 3346/3349 were rather rapid, only prob was when the bulbs went on the dot matrix displays you could never see the route number etc! Both good vehicles, although for about 6 months or so the upstairs heat on 3349 never worked, like a bloody ice box! |

R319WVR is now at the Isle Of Wight military museum for use as some sort of project for the islands homeless. It was previously with Stephensons of Tholthorpe . Credit to Richard Prior on Facebook for this information. |
