Whiteways SOE908H, Caernavon, 1982

            Whiteways of Waenfawr operated this ex WMPTE 33ft long dual-doored Fleetline for a number of years during the 1980s. Originally ordered by Birmingham City Transport and delivered new in October 1969, it arrived on the cusp of the WMPTE takeover of B.C.T's  operations, staff and infrastructure. The bus worked out of both Selly Oak and Yardley Wood garages serving until September 1980. 

Escaping the scrapyard, 3908 was one of many of these 33ft long Fleetlines sold for further use via Ensign and British Car Auctions, whom the WMPTE contracted during this time to dispose of some of these surplus vehicles.

After Whiteways had finished with the bus, it was finally sold for scrap, going to either Whiting or Ripley for breaking?
