114 is seen here whilst owned by Black Prince of Morley, Leeds, who purchased the bus from Booths, Rotherham.
After only a short life with Black Prince, 114 was sold to Blackpool Borough Council. It was converted to a tramway gangbus and fitted with sinks, toilet, cupboard, gas stove and tables. It lasted in this role until August 2000.
