It seems as though yet another of the few remaining former Municipal operators has finally fallen, this time Preston to it's old adversary Stagecoach who have done much to make sure it was not making decent profits in recent times. Not surprisingly like Ribble who also had it's headquarters in the town this operator was traditionally a very Leyland Motors stronghold. The town built up a large fleet of Atlanteans with either East-Lancs or like this example Alexander bodywork. Their numbers ran from 101 to 177 and No.102 must have dated from 1975 or 1976. At least for the time being it would appeal Stagecoach intends to keep the depot at Deepdale Road.
