Summary[edit]

Description
English: R. Bullock's bus (reg. F238 YTJ), a 1989 Leyland Olympian double-decker with heavily modified Alexander RH bodywork, pictured turning out of Piccadilly Gardens bus station, Manchester onto Portland Street with a Manchester Piccadilly Gardens to East Didsbury (Parrs Wood) via Wilmslow Road 42 service. First Manchester 69242 (MX56 AFZ) is following.

It was new to Merseyside PTE (Merseybus) as their fleet no. 238. This particular bus had to be rebuilt in 1993 by the operator's Edge Lane works, after being stolen and ending up on its side near the River Mersey.

It was one of a batch of similar vehicles bought by Bullocks from Merseybus (by then known as MTL North) just after their takeover by Arriva in February 2000. The batch were all modified by Bullocks before entering service, with their radiator grille and headlamp area being updated using panels manufactured in moulds used for the Northern Counties Palatine I. Their dot matrix displays were also subsequently removed.

When Stagecoach took over the bus services of Bullock's in August 2008, it was bought for preservation by the Merseyside Transport Trust, and they have since restored the bus to its original manufactured condition, wearing MTL North livery and 0238 fleet number plates.
