    Notes

    1523 spent its whole life based at Carlisle Depot which like the Merseyside area did not operate any Atlanteans with the exception of one White Lady Atlantean. In October 1974 it was converted into a driver training vehicle and became TV5. in November 1981 it passed to the Mersey & Calder Bus Preservation Group based at Burscough (now the Merseyside Transport Trust) . It was later purchased by the Trust as it is considered to be in better condition than 1553 which had been purchased direct from Ribble in December 1974 and been stored outside for much of its preserved life.
