Fylde Coast Exiles
3rd February 2006
<-- Index | Showing 1-18 of 18 pictures | Index -->
Photos of classic buses from the Fylde Coast in new homes.

First shots are ex Blackpool Routemasters. All 12 went to Reading after sale in 1997. Our 521 has been joined in preservation by 529 and 530. Remarkably 522-6, 531 and 533 went back to service in London fully refurbished and all but 522 have survived as the last Routemasters in the capital on heritage routes 9 and 15. 523/4/6 work the 9, 531/3 work the 15. 525 is with First for special duties and sometimes helps out on route 9.

Also included our former fleet members Ribble 1841 and LUT 394 and a newly re-discovered LUT Guy Arab in Hungary.
LUT Arab 236 was exported to Hungary in the late 1980s and is seen in Budapest March 07
