Originally new to CMT in 2000, W465 CRN was part of a batch of low floor buses bought for Liverpool to upgrade their fleet. Shortly after, Glenvale Transport took over CMTs operations and the vehicle was passed on. However, in 2005, Stagecoach stepped in, took over their whole Merseyside operations where the bus was remembered 21116 in their fleet numbering system and it remained there for the rest of its service life! It was repainted into beachball in 2006 and received a full interior refurb in 2011. In 2016 it was sold to Tom at the NWVRT, where it’s remained since.

As some of you may have seen when they’ve had events on, it’s been pushed to the back of the yard and been parked up for several years untouched. We’re hoping to give it the lease of life it deserves and will join our other B10s at shows hopefully in the near future! Similar to 604, we’re going to give her a full service first as she’s been sat so long. Toms has given us the lowdown with her current issues roughly, so we at least have an idea what we’re walking into. But as with the rest of the fleet, we’ll keep you up to date with her journey
