We are hoping this will be the 4th bus in our collection later once Blackpool Transport are ready to retire her.

364 was the last new Atlantean purchased by Blackpool Corporation Transport Dept. in 1984 before Blackpool Transport Services was set up. 364 has similar East Lancs long wheel base body work to that of our Lancaster City Transport bus 222.

After checking with the DVLA we can now confirm that this bus is the 2nd to last Atlantean EVER made for the home market 45 being the last, and 3rd to last is 364's sister in Blackpool Transport 363, all these buses were also the last coach seated examples ever made as well, and yes we can prove it.

364 is still being operated by Blackpool Transport solely on schools workings, limited private hire work and with kind permission of Mr Steven Burd with us to rallies.
