14^th November 2010 saw the arrival of 123 at out Wicor Depot Site for the first time, sometimes CPPTD are offered donations of buses, and this is one example of an opportunity that could not be decline.    It is one of only 5 PD3’s that were built for the Corporation and was accepted with grateful thanks.   These were larger than the standard size buses, they were known by staff as Spaceships.    This is one of two purchased by Transport and Road Research Laboratory in 1976 after receiving modifications which included the building an inspection platform on the roof and closing off the rear entrance, all work was carried out by the workshops in Eastney Depot.   This bus has had all those modifications removed, and with parts removed from sister no.124 will help to complete the restoration.
