RE: Ex-MTL Volvo B10B Wright Endurances 6501 - 6623
I think 6538 is the one in MTL livery that operates the internal Jaguar Land Rover shuttle in Speke for Ashcroft's. It does have a Northern Irish plate.

M538 WHF and M552 WTJ were both sold to Ashcrofts, Widnes by Dews and became HIG 5671/2 respectively. Both have since been sold on; 6538 to the NWVRT and 6552 to me for parts - both back on their original plates.

Remember both being stalwarts of Southport's fleet during part of their original career- think 6538 started out at Garston and 6552 Fareway,
