The Omnibus Society Wellington www.omnibus.org.nz held a fundraising bus trip on 01-05-2011. 1508 (soon to be renumbered 2308 formerly Redbus Christchurch 695 (MAN 17.223) Reg CTP64 was the bus for the trip.
Go Wellington generously granted use of this bus which has been recently acquired from Redbus as it had become surplus to their needs, the trip was in aid of The Tramway Historical Society www.ferrymeadtramway.org.nz who after the February 22 earthquake and subsequent return of the City Tramways hired trams need to build another storage barn to enable them to be kept under cover till they can return to the streets of Christchurch's CBD.
Seen here in Wilton Road heading back to the city with Mairangi terminus in the background.

I was happy to see a 1400 with an original dashboard deck panel, these are what these buses originally had fitted before refurbishing work. This one must have missed out on a new dash panel.
Also the rear a/c ducts have additional lighting added, never have seen this before on other 1400 or 2400 MAN 17.2223's :)
