I like 13, to me it's a lucky number!

Bad luck can strike at ANY time!

Roarer, who hopes eventually to preserve the coach from Glasgow 'Bluetrain', 303013, which is at the Metropolitan Police training centre in Kent, for the next few years (we are in touch with them and they know we are interested in it).

Out of all the ones they could have picked, they went for '13, and as such, it is now the oldest surviving example of the class, is the only vehicle left out there which is still not preserved, AND the only one still 'working'.

It wasn't even their first choice either, so, It'll have to be christened 'Lucky 13'.

Looks like the MET are looking after it too judging by the pictures! (we haven't been able to actually inspect it yet).
