After spending a few years out in the open, first at MOD Kineton and then at Tebay See image 27936, the last remaining Class 502 unit is again getting some TLC from the 502 Preservation Trust. Located in the Merseyside Transport Trust buildings at Burscough in Lancashire it shares the accommodation with an extensive collection of buses. Nearest the camera is Driving Trailer Open Composite M29896M and to the right is Motor Open Brake Second M28361M. With the unit being in open storage for so long, extensive internal and external restoration is necessary. The cab of M29896M is being extensively rebuilt with almost all the plate work having been replaced. As seen during a visit on 14 July 2019 the restoration is progressing very well.
