New group members Micky Ward and Mark Mckenzie along with committee member Fred Mckale have secured Leyland Atlantean EJR129W for preservation.
We hope to have 129 towed back to Tyneside in the next 2 to 3 weeks.
129 has been laid up for around 10 years now due to an angle drive fault which resulted in the bus losing drive altogether.
It is most likely to be the sole survivor of the EJR-W batch of Atlanteans to retain its Dual Purpose coach seating which is 1 of the reasons why the bus had to be saved from the scrap man so watch out for more updates and photos very soon.
We shall be taking some photos of the bus when the current owners have removed all the rubbish from around it.
