With the sale of Michael Roulston's vehicles well underway, a number of buses have now left and more are expected to follow. Details of these can be found under Arrivals and Departures. This has however been balanced by the arrival of a number of other vehicles, notably a collection of Routemasters from operator Scottish Travel. It now looks more like Hillingdon than Hillington. Also, Glasgow Atlantean MUS274F has been purchased and against increasingly poor odds will now be restored to GGPTE livery. The new owner is looking for a number of parts for the bus, in particular a set of curved top seats, so please help if you can. Also, Western Leopard CAG440C has been bought for continued preservation and will remain on site.

Other news is that as expected, Michael Roulston has formally stood down from his position as Vice Chairman. Secretary Jimmy Rankin has also stood down and in light of recent events and future requirements, the committee has decided to remain as it is with four members, preferring to deligate tasks to sub-committees elected at the time for the purpose. If you have any queries about this arrangement, feel free to discuss it with our Chairman.
