    This weeks task was to move POPS Atlantean out of the barn so it can be taken over to Reliance Busworks for MOT prep, easy eh?
    Every vehicle we needed to move in order to get 766EVT out suffered from flat batteries and so the the booster was working over time. One advantage of moving things about is that I get chance to take a few pics.

    New edition to the barn is ex Midland Red,  Marshall body Leyland Leopard PHA319M (319)

     Bobs other beauty again Eastern Counties this one in green 778, lets hope it will soon be showing something different on the destination blind.

    BIT BY BIT. 910UVT
    A sad sight indeed, but it has to go soon. 910UVT slowly dissapears, with the top deck nearly gone and the spare parts moved to a new home the upper deck floor will come up to allow the steel frame work to be removed and saved.
