8697 has now been fully restored to 1991/2 condition, into the final GM Buses livery.This livery was
chosen because 8697 was the last bus still with a former GMB company to run in GM Buses livery, and the variation of white windscreen surround and headlight surrounds (a
left over from the orange & white GM Buses livery) was chosen to allow its original fleet number to be used. 8697 attended the Warrington Borough Transport
Open Day on Monday 3rd June 2002, where it was the First Runner-Up in the best vehicle prizes and 3280 was the Second Runner-Up. All photographs were taken on 3/6/02
(except the first, which was taken on 17/5/02). © A. Stephenson
