H&C YYB 118 MSLR Brockford & Wetheringsett Station 060823
Hello Dennis, I’m Dennis!
In this shot, having just arrived at Brockford & Wetheringsett Station to take part in the Mid Suffolk Light Railway's 2023 Bus Day, Nick Webster’s unique former Hutchings & Cornelius Harrington bodied Dennis Lancet UF type YYB 118 is seen parked up next to the MSLR's resident Dennis flatbed lorry. During the day YYB did two trips on the road run around the lanes, with full loads on both.
Having first entered service in August 1957, YYB was celebrating her 66th Birthday and along with the other seven buses/coaches in attendance - there isn’t much room for more than that - their combined age was just over 480 years, an average of 60 years per vehicle, all of them different, the oldest 84 and the youngest a mere 40 year old.
The second time I had visited the welcoming “Middy” and once again a good day was had by all, despite the occasional shower, with the chance to meet friends, both old and new.
