Anyone know anything about Volvo B10B 1349? Marked on the main site as having been sold for preservation earlier this year just wondering who/where etc?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

No, just selected by the museum as a representative of the era, with the actual vehicle chosen because a volunteer at the museum is also a vehicle inspector at YW and knew the good and bad points of it.

1349 is with a private owner who owns about 4 other ex WMT vehicles.  It is up to him if he makes his ownership public

Assuming they are available to buy, has anyone shown interest in any of the 17xx's, formerly of Walsall depot,  either for further service or preservation yet?

Drove past WMPTE-liveried Meteobus 2789 heading northbound up the Walsall Road around 14:45 this afternoon!

Any ideas where it had been / was going?
