WMPTE 6600, 4041, 6986 & 6225 at Wythall, 2015
Preserved West Midlands PTE, Fleetline buses on display at The Transport Museum Wythall in October 2015. From left to right:
6600 (NOC600R). A 1976, ex WMPTE Park Royal bodied Fleetline that is privately owned and remains in active preservation.
4041 (XON41J). Another ex WMPTE Park Royal bodied Fleetline this one from 1971 and belonging to the 'Aston Manor Road Transport Museum' at Aldridge. This vehicle remains in preservation but had been off the road for a few years.
6986 (WDA986T). An ex WMPTE, MCW bodied Fleetline from 1979 that has since been sold out of preservation. The last heard, it was exported to France for use as a mobile or static home. This is a similar fate that befell another former preserved West Mildands PTE, Fleetline 4133 (YOX133K) a few years prior.
6225 (UHA225G). A 1969 built, Midland Red DD13, Alexander bodied Fleetline that never operated for WMPTE, but was painted into PTE colours to represent the type in service with WMPTE. The bus has since been repainted back into Midland Red colours and remains active on the preservation scene.
