Emergency timetable

On December 12th 1978 the road bridge over the railway line between the Coronation and Oldmixon Estates, Weston super Mare, was blown up (literally!) and a replacement, wider, bridge built in its place. Town service 105 (and to a lesser extent service 115 to Hutton) was affected, and the main 12-minute frequency was rescheduled to terminate at the Coronation Estate, with the bus released from the rescheduling being used to provide a half hourly "express" service to Oldmixon Esatate via the fast Wintersoke Road, numbered 104, A Bristol FLF stands in the High Street operating the fast 104 service, and Bristol VRT 5501 pulls out to pass it whilst operating the truncated 105 service. The VR would have been conductor operated.
