Coming together nicely.

An RBW job which has been progressing as and when time permitted is this ex Southern National flat screened Bristol RE / ECW.

HDV626E is now in the final stages of restoration and hopefully up-grade to PSV status thereby allowing its return to base at Weston super Mare before long. Because of pressure of work, shorage of staff and minimalist facilities, unfortunately its taken a lot longer than planned but all being well, it will be worth it in the end.

I have to say that I remeber these buses being delivered new at Weymouth. Many a happy childhood family holiday was spent there and catching the Southern National Bowleaze Cove bus back to my Aunt and Uncle's house high up on the hill above Preston would involve this summer only service which primarily served the Pontin's camp. Oh, I haven't twiddled with the destination, that's how it arrived ... coincidence eh?
