I've just searched on my Yell app and found a few (here is a link from their site - www.yell.com/s/car+and+vehicle+dismantlers-levenshulme.html)

Are they for an independent (even one of the main operators) or are they going to Thornton's for a refurbishment (eventhough I imagine Go-Ahead use Hants & Dorset Trim for the London operation?)

Watching Classic Corrie as I do, I've seen many an old bus in the background.
However, when watching an episode recently, I spotted what looks like an ECW Atlantean on 'Rosamund St', as Ken Barlow was walking towards the cafe.
Knowing the episode was shown in 1993 originally and the GAG ECW Atlantean's disappearing not too long prior to this, I was wondering if the white example in the photo was one of the native examples, living an extended life.
I've checked online and can't find any white examples photographed in the Manchester area - to rule my theory in or out.
However, that's not to say there's no photos of it.
Any help would be appreciated
