| GR 9007 |  | 1947 | Crossley DD42/3 Crossley H30/26R | North East Bus Preservation Trust Ltd | This vehicle entered traffic on 2nd April 1947 and was based at Hylton Road depot, Sunderland. From the mid 50's this batch was generally used for peak time journeys, football specials, etc. No 13 survived in Sunderland, when withdrawn in 1962 with No 100 as mobile polling booths until bought by dealer Lister of Bolton in 1972.
It was sold to 'Crossley' enthusiast Norman Myres of Bolton, subsequently moving to the St Helens transport museum.
When purchased by John Jackson in 1999 it was in a dreadful state. On 8th May 99 the vehicle was moved from St Helens to Wormingford, Essex, where restoration got underway in 2000.
Once back at Wormingford John enlisted former Crossley engineer Tony Melia to help him. They carried out a remarkable restoration and No 13 returned to the road in 2007.
After John's passing his sister kindly offered the vehicle to the Trust, making its North East debut at the Seaburn Historic Vehicle Display on August Bank Holiday Monday 2021.

Atkinson was better known for its lorry chassis and the company were approached by Sunderland to build these vehicles after unsatisfactory performance from the Corporation's AEC Reliances.
The vehicles had Gardner 6HLW engines mounted horizontally underfloor. The bodies were by Marshall to the contemporary B.E.T. specification, similar to other local vehicles at the time. The twin-door bodies were specified to operate on the Pay-As-You-Enter system.
The steps into the saloon were very high, compared to the low-floor buses of today. Seating capacity was only 45 due to the dual door layout. |

History of Tyneside PTE Leyland Atlantean GBB 516K
Introduction. In June 1972, the Leyland Atlantean 680, with registration number GBB 516K, was introduced to the Tyneside PTE as part of a fleet of 25 long wheelbase PDR2 Atlanteans. This iconic bus became a familiar sight on the streets of Newcastle, operating out of Byker depot.
A Journey Through Time. The Leyland Atlantean 680, affectionately known as GBB 516K, served the Tyneside PTE faithfully for nearly a decade before embarking on a new chapter in its illustrious history. In 1981, along with fifteen of its counterparts, 680 was sold to the Isle of Man National Transport Company, where it was re-registered as N875 MAN and given the fleet number 65. Why was the Leyland Atlantean 680 sold to the Isle of Man? The decision to sell 680 and its fellow Atlanteans to the Isle of Man was driven by the need for newer, more advanced buses on the streets of Tyneside. The Isle of Man provided a new home for these iconic vehicles, where they continued to serve the community for another four years. What happened to the Leyland Atlantean 680 on the Isle of Man? During its time on the Isle of Man, 680 saw service as a reliable mode of transportation before being replaced by the newer AN68 Atlanteans. While some of its counterparts returned to the UK mainland or met their demise, 680 found a new purpose as a racing support vehicle at the Jurby Racetrack, where it remained for fifteen years. How was the Leyland Atlantean 680 preserved? Despite being earmarked for scrap, 680 was saved by local enthusiasts on the Isle of Man who recognized its historical significance. The bus was purchased, stored, and eventually restored to its original Tyneside PTE livery. On May 3rd, 2003, 680 made its triumphant return to the Northeast, where it has been a prominent feature at various classic vehicle displays. It was repainted in 2017.
Present Day: The Legacy of Leyland Atlantean 680 The Warren family acquired ownership of the Leyland Atlantean 680 in November 2018, ushering in a new era of preservation and appreciation for this iconic bus. A great deal of cosmetic and mechanical work has been carried out on the vehicle, complementing the 2017 repaint and restoring it to its former glory and ensuring its continued presence at local events. For enthusiasts and historians alike, the Leyland Atlantean 680 serves as a tangible link to the rich history of public transportation in the Tyneside area. Its journey from everyday commuter bus to beloved classic vehicle is a testament to the passion and dedication of those who recognize the value of preserving our transportation heritage. |

The plan is to eventually repaint 6080 into NBC poppy red and white, the livery the bus wore whist operating for United. |

Apart from the Covid interruptions, she has since been a regular presence on the rally circuit. |

It was new to Speedlink in 1997 as a dual door airport shuttle bus. It was later converted to single door and moved onto Carousel Buses. The last operator to run 981 in service was Abus of Bristol who actually scrapped it. It was saved from the scrapyard by another individual who I then bought the vehicle off. It has been in preservation in the North East since 2016 and currently wears the Go North East Easy Access livery that was a common sight on Go North East's SB220s of the time. |
| R855 PRG |  | 1998 | Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown. Volvo D10H engine with ZF HP400 gearbox. | Northern National Restoration Group (Craig Smith) | New to Chester le Street in June 1998 4855 was the final member of the second batch of 8 B10BLE that were bought to run the service 21 and morning 734. After 2 years the batch was reallocated to Stanley for use on the service 775 and 778 replacing the popular DAF SB220's.
Then in 2008 48 found herself back at Chester LE Street to run the "branded" lime. From there she was withdrawn in 2015, displaced by Wrightbus Streetlite's.
The NNRG took delivery of 4855 from Saltmeadows Road bodyshop in September 2015. Restoration started straight away and she was unveiled in her original livery in 2016 as a surprise entry at the North East Bus and Coach Show.
4855 has the distinction of being the first low floor bus that was preserved from Go Northeast in 2015, and has been a popular attraction on the rally field since 2016. |

| V988 ETN |  | 2000 | Volvo B10BLE Renown Wright bodied | Northern National Restoration Group (Craig Smith) | Delivered to Go Northern in January 2000 at their now-closed Stanley depot, 4898 saw initial use on the 765/766 between Durham and Consett. Throughout the early 2000s she saw use on the 775/778 services between Sunderland and Consett in addition to the 45 and 46 to Newcastle. In October 2006, 4898 received a lime green base livery, however it was not until March 2007 that Lime route branding vinyls were applied, featuring the tagline; cross country connection.
Following the withdrawal of the 775 service and the restructuring of the routes on this corridor, 4898 would see permanent allocation to the 8/78 services between Stanley/Consett and Sunderland for nearly ten years. In 2010, the Lime received updated branding that promoted it as a cycle-friendly service, receiving appropriate refurbishments in order to accommodate bikes in the wheelchair/buggy bay.
4898 survived until the final day of B10BLE operation on the route, Saturday 2nd May 2015 and was subsequently transfered to Gateshead Riverside. A few months later in August 2015, she received the necessary DDA modifications to continue operating in service beyond 1st January 2016. 4898 continued to work here into 2017, although withdrawn from service in September she was reinstated for a short time before finally being withdrawn in October 2017 and was one of the final B10BLEs in the Go North East fleet.
In November 2017, 4898 was sold for preservation to Chris Perdy, and after being sold on at least once in a fairly short period, she was acquired by the Northern National Restoration Group in the summer of 2019. Her first public appearance under our ownership was at NELSAM's Trams and Transport Day on Sunday 21st July 2019. |

| NK54 NVN |  | 2004 | Scania L94UB/Wright Solar | Northern National Restoration Group (Craig Smith) | 5217 was new to South Shields depot during the week of 14th January 2005.
The imminent closure of the South Shields depot on 4th February 2005 saw her transfer to Deptford depot as part of the massive allocation changes.
The introduction of the Prince Bishops brand on services 20/20A/X20, operating between Durham and Sunderland, saw 5217 receive a repaint into a purple base livery with the original rendition of the branding applied on top.
In late June 2016, 5217 was transferred to Chester-le-Street depot following the entry into service of brand new Wright StreetLites on the Prince Bishops and was repainted into the plain red corporate livery.
She saw out her days at Riverside acting as a spare vehicle.
5217 was acquired by the Northern National Restoration Group shortly after 4898 in the Autumn of 2019.
5217 is dedicated to Chris Moyes, an original member of the Board of Directors of the company following the management buyout during the privatization of the National Bus Company. |
