Over the last few years i've applied to ATW for a number of guards & trainee driver roles. Every single time I've been knocked back at the initial sift, with the usual 'unfortunately we cannot offer feedback at this stage...' I've tried changing various details, changing my address, creating a...

I'm trying to trace the former Midland Red North Leyland Tigers that were rebodied with East Lancs EL2000 bodies in the early '90s. So far the list reads like this: Leyland Tiger DP49F East Lancashire Coach Builders 2000 1710 TPC 101X - Scrapped 2005 Leyland Tiger B51F East Lancashire Coach...
