This was one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.
It's a 1961 Bristol Lodekka FS6G, and the programme of the event had this information about the vehicle:
Bristol Lodekka FS6G, ECW H60RD, 1961 AAO547A
Cumberland Motor Services 550
Entered by 550 Group, Whitehaven, Cumbria
Delivered in 1961 for the Carlisle to Frizington and Thornhill services, this vehicle was used as a driver trainer after withdrawal. It passed to the 550 Group in 1991 and has been restored with help from Volvo Bus, Workington.
The vehicle was reunited with its original registration, 101 DRM, in 2001 and there's more information about it on the website of the Workington Transport Heritage Trust.
