New as an ECW bodied Leyland Atlantean 571 (ONN571P) was rebodied by Willowbrook just over a year after it was new, the ECW body was destroyed in the infamous Derby depot fire. Two identical buses (573 and 577) were destroyed before even entering service. A true survivor 571 has gained a further lease of life in preservation, seen here threading its way through other entrants in the display arena at Donington in September 2016.
