LN18 Comes Back To Life

Former GGPTE Leyland National LN18 (GGE173T) started for the first time in around 7 years today.

After life in Glasgow, she went to the The Isle of Cumbrae and the town of Millport running with Millport Motors, before being sold to the BBC around 2002 as a bothy on the set of River City. The BBC has since acquired a new vehicle, and LN18 was subsequently towed to the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust. This is her starting for the first time since Milport - (She arrived at the BBC on the back of a lowloader).
