For the first time since 1997 a two tone blue Fylde single decker took to the road with FTT's recently repainted 'Paladin' 7 (TKU469K) on its first test run after mechanical attention. It is graced with its original registration gain having carried UIB3987 with its last operator.
FTT also undertook a depot shunt this week to extract PD2 346 which is moving onto the next stage in its restoration.
