Category:Preserved bus in the UK (C147 KBT)

English: C147 KBT is a 1985 Leyland Olympian with open-top double-deck body built by Roe. Since November 2009 it has been owned and operated by Keighley Bus Museum Trust, in whose fleet it is number 60. It works the Trust's route 22 service, as well as private hire and museum shuttle services.

Its current livery is fictional, representing what a Keighley Borough Transport bus might have looked like had that municipal operator's fleet not been absorbed into the West Yorkshire Road Car Company in 1932. For this purpose the museum trust assumes that Keighley Corporation would have been re-branded as Keighley Borough Transport by the 1980s.

Fleet number number 60 follows a 1962 Leyland Atlantean (registration WJY 758) that the museum trust repainted as Keighley Corporation number 59 (as seen in this image). That followed number 58, which was the last fleet number used by the municipal operator before 1932. Bus 60 was bought to replace 59, which was retired in 2009, passing to the Plymouth City Transport Preservation Group.

In reality C147 KBT was new to Yorkshire Rider in 1985 as its fleet number 5147, initially in West Yorkshire PTE Livery. It was then repainted in Leeds Discovery Bus livery and gave guided tours. At some point the roof was permanently fixed due to persistent leaks. When FirstBus bought Yorkshire Rider, 5147 was repainted in pre-corporate First Leeds red, orange, yellow & white striped livery. When First bought the (original) York Pullman company in 2000, 5147 had its roof permanently removed and it was transferred to the York City Tour, which First had acquired with the Pullman business.

In 2002 Guide Friday bought the York Tour and transferred 5147 to its city tour in Edinburgh. When that was eventually taken over by competitor City Sightseeing, 5147 was transferred back to York, painted in red York City Sightseeing livery and renumbered 4007. It passed into Transdev York ownership when Transdev bought the tour's franchise holder Top Line Travel.

Transdev York sold the bus to Keighley Bus Museum Trust in November 2009.
