209. ONN571P
Trent 571, ONN571P, an ECW bodied Leyland Atlantean had its body destroyed in the fire at Meadow Road depot, Derby in July 1976. It was subsequently rebodied by Willowbrook with a style similar to the 1969 bodies on the Devon General Atlanteans that were diverted to Yorkshire Traction, although the front panel is to a much plainer design. Alongside by happy co-incidence is 572, ONN572P, with the original Eastern Coach Works body.
