Help us raise Funds!
We are currently raising funds to carry out an overhaul of the Cummins 6BT that is in 114. Due to its age, it is getting rather tired and is in need of a little love and attention. This is YOUR chance to be part of the loving restoration of this brilliant vehicle. For every donation we get we are putting a plaque inside the vehicle as a massive thank you to all those that help restore this bus to its former glory.
Holding on to the Past for Future Generations
We currently are restoring 1998 Dennis Dart SLF. That operated with Rossendale Travel from the new until the day they scrapped it. Somehow it was saved from the scrap yard and in 2013 ended up on an airfield as a shuttle without a V5C. Around 2020 it was seen on Facebook for sale and Mancbuses with help of the members bought the vehicle for £800 as the last ever SLF Dart that exists from Rossendale Travel. Once bought we began convincing the DVLA that the vehicle was not scrapped and did exist. In 2022 the vehicle went for an MOT which it passed with flying colours for a vehicle of its age.
