    Surprised to see a J39 on Lostock Hall Shed ! 'Sixers' weren't uncommon around Preston but a J39 ? Blimey! Anyone know if they found their way over regularly ?

    There is another photo of 64801 on 24C in the Lostock Hall MPD website. Even the website author is puzzled as to how it got there.
