1970 Atkinson Viewline

This was one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's not listed in the programme of the event, but it took part again in 1995, and the note in that programme reads as follows:

Atkinson Viewline T3046X, 1970                                                                                BVB457H
Entered by     C.J. Gardner for W.H.Bowker Limited, Bamber Bridge, Preston
This is one of the last of a small number of distinctive "View-Line" tractor units built by Atkinson.
Withdrawn from service in 1983, bought for preservation 1984, restored 1986. The vehicle carries
the livery of East Lancashire Roadways of Oswaldtwistle.
