DSCF5061 Former Delaine 47 (MTL 750) at Bourne - 29 Sep 2018

Saturday 29 September 2018 (1255) - The Delaine Running Day at Bourne, Lincolnshire was themed around vehicles bodied by Yeates of Loughborough.

MTL 750, is a Yeates Europa bodied Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/12 owned by the Leicester Arts and Museums Services. It had been new to Delaine in March 1958 as fleet number 47 and was on loan to the Delaine Heritage Trust. A dual purpose vehicle that was used on either coach work or bus service work. I had taken a ride on this coach on a circular tour to Rippingale a little earlier.

In the background is a Willowbrook bodied Leyland Atlantean PDR1/2 that had been new to Delaine in February 1966 as fleet number 60 (DTL 489D).
