Preservation
Wright Consort-bodied Leyland DAF Roadrunner G571 PNS entered service as a disabled transport vehicle with Strathclyde Regional Council in February 1990 as bus 23189, transferring to East Renfrewshire District Council upon the abolishment of Strathclyde in 1996. This bus was donated to the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust (GVVT) in 2008 and can still be seen at many events at the GVVT's Bridgeton Bus Garage site to this day.[3]
