I notice elsewhere that Blackpool 298 has been reported to be the likely next car for restoration. 298 is in store at Crich with many parts prepared by the Blackpool Railcoach Fund.
No decision has yet been made on the next car for restoration. The Workshop team is extremely busy commissioning the operational fleet for 2008 and restoring LUT 159 and Cardiff 131.
The choice of next car is a long, complex process involving the availability of funds, the wishes of funders, the needs of the Museum operationally and curatorially and also the availability of skills.
Whenever a decision is made the details are given through the Society's magazines.
