North Western Reliance
Following completion of requested works on former North Western Road Car Reliance RDB 846, it was taken on an outing with Simon Gill from Bus & Coach Preservation magazine for a feature. The magazine is now out, so here's a photo which I took on the day with the bus pictured up in the hills between Biddulph Moor, Rudyard and Bosley.
The Alexander bodied 'Dp' Reliance was owned in the past by two former customers of ours, but it then fell into the hands of a well known acquirer of buses in whose ownership it steadily degenerated to being practically scrap. In fact, the bus had a few near death experiences before being acquired by its present owner who put up a substantial sum of money for us to re-commission it.
Its first trip out in new ownership was to the well known May Bank Holiday transport event at Llandudno (2025).
