Trial Fitting in Canterbury

Today we took the bus to Canterbury for a trial fitting in the High Street.  I am pleased to report that it was a perfect fit and that we have a green light to start operating there as early as the next half term.  Getting out wasn't quite so straightforward as our exit wasn't clear.  This meant performing a 3 (and a bit) point turn outside WH Smith whilst trying to avoid suicidal pedestrians.  Its at time like this that I yearn for power steering!

Following this visit, the bus returned to Dover Transport Museum after a six month absence, now looking very different.  I can't resist reprinting a picture of it when it left last August.

  

In the past week the new visual effects in the Air Raid Shelter have been completed and look amazing.  We can now produce images on the corrugated walls that are mysteriously projected from the rear - all very atmospheric!

Crosskeys have also expertly completed their list of mechanical jobs, which included a full service, replacing a leaking brake valve, persuading the troublesome indicators to work, fitting a reversing horn and coaxing the original speedo back into life.
