First registered 1/9/77 new to Bradford district of West Yorkshire PTE, 6159 transferred to Yorkshire Rider upon de-regulation. In
1993, it was moved to Leeds and was used there until 1997, when it was transferred to Bramley for use as a driver trainer. At
some point, it had a front dome accident, resulting in the current Park Royal dome being fitted. Bought from First
in 2005, 6159 (WNW 159S) is one of the first style of standard PTE Atlanteans with Roe Bodies. For its restoration,
it has had steelwork replaced, a full set of panels below the lower deck windows, and a set of seats, to the original spec.
