]]> Mon Nov 23 2009 5120 returns to Manchester! http://markamis.fotopic.net/c1779546.html Following being sold from Stockport depot by Stagecoach back in April 2001, my preserved GMT Metrobus finally return to the Manchester area in 2009 to attend the SELNEC 40 event over the weekend of 31/10 & 1/11. The following few days was used to travell over some old routes once served by these wonderful machines - many of them by this bus itself. Wednesday 11 November 2009: Following being sold from Stockport depot by Stagecoach back in April 2001, my preserved GMT Metrobus finally return to the Manchester area in 2009 to attend the SELNEC 40 event over the weekend of 31/10 & 1/11. The following few days was used to travell over some old routes once served by these wonderful machines - many of them by this bus itself.

1. Ready for the off! 5120 is seen at the SWPG Bristol base on the afternoon of 29th October after I'd put all of the essentials for the week on board and before I went home for some sleep - an early start ensued! 2. Taking a breather. I had set off from Bristol at 02:30 on the morning of 30th October. Travelling up the M5, I stopped off at each set of services to check on water levels and to ensure the engine didn't over heat too much. I needent have worried as she performed impeccably! This picture was taken at Frankley services on the M5 at 04:40 in the morning. It was a bit chilly! 3. 5120 was performing extremely well and coped with the long hills on the M5 very well, not dropping below 40mph. As I was running early, I came off the M5 and drove into Wolverhampton city centre. This pic was taken outside the City Art Gallery at 05:40. Thanks to a friendly lamp post! 4. Much later in the day - after calling in at Dobsons of Northwich to pick up some seat cushions - I travelled up towards Manchester. My intended route of the M60 to Stockport then through to Ashton was thwarted by very heavy traffic so I came off at the A34 juction to go into Manchester city centre. As I passed Parrs Wood (East Didsbury) I couldn't resist calling in and putting up a suitable destination display. Metrobuses were regular performers on the 50 service in their day.... 5. Once in central Manchester it was too busy to stop and photograph a bus in Piccadilly so nearby Stevenson Square was a good substitute. After all, the Saddleworth services terminated here (on Lever St) for many years. This pic illustrates the 183 service which travelled to Uppermill via Oldham and Scouthead. This service was withdrawn by First on 31st October 2004 - almost 5 years to the day! 6. Driving up towards Oldham I stopped at Hollinwood to reset the destination again. As a child I used to love riding my bike up the the Stamford Rd terminus of the 429 service. Now, I had a bus with a 1983 blind in it capable of showing the 429 terminus! So, my childhood dream of driving a bus on my local route came true. The 429 from Hollinwood to Lees (Stamford Rd) was reborn for 1 journey - some 23 years after it last ran (25th Oct 1986). Still didn't stop people trying to flag me down though! 7. Outside the Grapes Inn at the top of my former road. The last time this destination would have been seen here would have been at approx 22:30 on the 25th October 1986 (on the last 22:00 service from Hollinwood). 8. 5120 is safely stored in her temporary home for the week. I have been visiting Stotts of Oldham's premises ever since I was at school and familiar with the owners. Therefore, a phone call to Steven Stott to ask for help in storing my bus for the week was met with enthusiasm and a warm welcome. 5120 is seen here alongside several of Stotts' own metrobuses - some of them sidelined for withdrawal. 9. Day one of the rally (31/10/09) saw 5120 at Eastlands (Manchester City's ground) for the majority of the day - finally reaquainting herself with familiar orange and white buses!! 10. 5120 is pictured here outside Manchester Victoria station on the evening of 31/10/09 despite the blinds being set for the 400 service to Stockport! 11. On day two of the SELNEC 40 event (1/11/09) was mostly a wet day. I travelled via Saddleworth to pick up some friends. The 180 service was once a premier Limited Stop service from Greenfield to Manchester and frequently saw MCW Metrobuses operating on it. It seemed only right to set the blinds for this service whilst making a photostop outside the newly rebuilt Greenfield station. The driver of the 180 operated by First Manchester had given us a strange look as he passed us going the other way. This meant that he would be just 10 minutes behind us - of course, as I wasn't stopping, that time differential grew as we headed towards the museum. 12. Pictured on Boyle St on 1/11/09 just after we had arrived at the museum on day 2 of the SELNEC 40 event. 13. Another shot on Boyle St. The last time a GM bus displayed 82 CHORLTON (via Oldham Piccadilly Brooks's Bar) was before deregulation. I couldn't resist showing this for old times sake! 14. Day 2 at Eastlands. I had just swapped my Oldham depot blinds over for Tameside depot blinds. These are more accurate as 5120 was a TE depot bus for most of its life with the majority of these at Glossop depot. The 236 service was one of the main services between Glossop and Manchester. 15. On the 2nd & 3rd November 2009 I took 5120 over to Dobsons Buses in Northwich as they had kindly offered me a full top deck of original GMT seat frames complete with salt & pepper moquette cushions, for which I am eternally grateful. Here 5120 is seen in Holts whislt waiting to pick up a friend of mine to help me. I'd set the blind for the 343 which ran nearby through Lees. 16. On the 4/11/09 I recreated part of the old 355 service from Oldham to Ashton via Saddleworth. I ran from Oldham round to Greenfield via Scouthead and Uppermill. Here, 5120 is seen in Oldham Town Centre waiting to depart. The pic is on Lord St as it was easier for me to get a picture here than either the bus station or Clegg St (Town Square). The 355 was withdrawn 5 years earlier on 31st October 2004. 17. 5120 is pictured here at Austerlands, almost at the top of the climb up from Waterhead, whilst recreating the 355 service on 4/11/09 18. Over the top and down again. 5120 is seen at the layby near the former Cross Keys pub (now a Chinese restaurant) whilst recreating the 355 Oldham - Ashton service on 4/11/09. 19. On arrival at the Clarence Hotel at Greenfield, I turned 5120 around and posed her as an Oldham bound 355. This service had been withdrawn by First just over 5 yars earlier on 31/10/04 as part of their reorganisation of Saddleworth services. Date of this picture is 4/11/09. 20. Whilst at the Clarence Hotel in Greenfield on 4/11/09, it would have been wrong for me not to set the blinds for one of the more famous services to terminate here. The 180 service from Greenfield to Manchester has been leaving here since 1929 (as route 10) and still runs to this day. This pic illustrates a short working back as far as Oldham. The driver of the current First operated 180 was looking on with amusement from his bus on the other side of the road! 21. After Greenfield, i drove over to Stalybridge via Carrbrook. On arrival I set the blinds for the 236 service to Glossop - 5120's home town for many years. Whilst I was there I was lucky to get this shot of a current Glossop bound service passing my bus. The 239 takes a longer route than the direct 236 service so I managed to get to Glossop before it. According to the timetable at the stop the current 236 service was due immenently so I changed the route number to the 214 to avoid confusing passengers on my way to Glossop. 23. Henry St Glossop again. This time with the blinds set for the 237 from Manchester via Ashton & Stalybridge. 24. Henry St, Glossop again. This time with the blinds set for the 394 service to Hazel Grove Station. 26. On leaving Glossop, I travelled to Manchester along one of the main routes, the 224 Limited Stop service via Hyde. This picture was taken at Mottram on 4/11/09. 27. The 153 service was introduced as a commuter exress service from Mossley to Manchester via Carrbrook, Stalybridge, Ashton and fast to Manchester. 5120 is seen here in Ashton town centre on 5/11/09 before running over the section to Mossley via Stalybridge. 28. 5120 is seen in Stalybridge bus station again, this time recreating the 153 service on 5/11/09. 29. The 153 express service from Manchester terminated here at Mossley Brookbottom and so did my stint at recreating this useful route. 30. Mossley Brookbottom also saw service by another service I used frequently as a child (and still runs) - the 343 service from Oldham to Hyde. 5120 is pictured here on the Oldham bound stop on 5/11/09, blinds set appropriately. 31. I know for definate that this bus ran on the 353 service from Ashton to Denshaw in its GMT days based at TE depot (Ashton) as it has been captured on film doing so by my friend David Bielby. It is pictured here at Haddens (between Mossley and Greenfield) which formed the border between Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. Today it also forms the boundary between Tameside and Oldham (Saddleworth district) 32. 5120 enters Uppermill square whilst running on the 353 service to Denshaw. 33. 5120 is seen here at the Denshaw terminus of the 353 route from Ashton. Date of picture, 5/11/09. 34. The oppertunity was taken whilst at Denshaw terminus to show another long gone service which operated here. The 408 service used to operate from Denshaw to Stalybridge via Oldham. 35. Pictured at New Tame between Denshaw and Delph. Just over 24 years earlier on 12th October 1985, David Beilby captured this very bus here on the same route. We have tried here to recreate his original shot but we were out by around 50ft and the camera angle isn't quite as full on. Compare the original <a href=here" /> 36. 5120 is seen entering Delph village as if runnig empty back to the depot following running the 353 service to Carrcote on 5/11/09. 37. 5120 is pictured outside the Woolpack Inn in Dobcross whilst returning to Ashton on the 353. The date is 5/11/09. 38. Whilst we were running old routes around Saddleworth on 5/11/09, we left Diggle to head towards Uppermill as a short working to Oldham of the 429 service. This ran from Diggle to Limeside or Mills Hill (depending on the year recreated) 39. This is a lovely scene of Dobcross Square primarily showing the Drinking Fountain in the centre of the square. This was erected by public subscription and dedicated to Walter Henry Fox Ramsden, a local village Doctor from 1864 to 1900. The background just happens to feature 5120! 40. 5120 negitiates the famous hairpin bend at Greenfield Station whilst recreating a journey on the 429 Manchester to Greenfield service. 41. Homeward bound. Following my week back in Oldham I set off south again on the Friday morning. This shot was taken in Oldham town centre with with the blind set for the TRANS LANCS EXPRESS 400 service. Being new to Tameside depot there is a strong chance that this very bus was used on this service when new as this was a regular metrobus service due to their rapid acceleration and turn of speed. 22. Pictured on arrival in Glossop town centre on the erstwhile 214 service on 4/11/09. The picture is taken on Henry St - terminal point for many services serving Glossop. 25. This was the shot I wanted to get during the whole trip. My ex GM Metrobus 5120 pictured outside its long time home depot of York St, Glossop. Note the apt destination of Glossop depot! This former North Western depot has recently been closed by Stagecoach Manchester but is still used for storage of withdrawn vehicles. This is probably the last time EVER that 5120 will be pictured outside it old home depot looking like this although this colour scheme is vaguely similar to the old North Western livery. Mind you, I doubt if North Western would ever have had metrobuses as an NBC subsiduary if it remained seperate from GMT. More than likely it would have been a large Bristol VR / Olympian user. The next time 5120 ventures north it will be looking different and the old York St depot will more than likely have been sold off for redevelopment - it is currently up for sale.....

5. A view of the upper saloon showing the new seats fitted whilst 5120 was up in Scotland. Apparently several of the ex GM Metros with Billy Davies Coaches were heavily vandalised by the school kids..... 6. A picture of the lower saloon. Note that the GMT 7. A view of the business end. The bus had this reconditioned Gardner 6LXB fitted back in 2007 and is still as clean as a whistle. 4. A rear end view showing the repanelled rear when rebuilt by GM Buses South. Note the hand painted beer mugs!! 3. This was the condition of 5120 when I went up to Cheshire to view the bus before deciding whether to buy it. It was still in the faded livery of Billy Davies Coaches, Plean, Stirlingshire despite having been owned by Bowker Coaches for the last four years. 9. Having removed the 8. As I had some spare 2. Pictured entering Piccadilly Gardens in April 1998 whilst in the ownership of Stagecoach Manchester. It was allocated to Hyde Road depot at this time. The roof of 5120 still carries this livery and the ends of the stripes can still just be glimpsed at the very top of the sides. 1. Pictured in Ashton bus station whilst running for GM Buses on the main route between Glossop and Manchester. At the time it was allocated to Glossop depot as can be seen by the depot badge under the drivers window. Glossop was always treated as an outstation by GMT / GMB, under the stewardship of Tameside (TE) depot until it closed in 1991. It then fell under Hyde Road (HE) depot. 16. Departing Birmingham along Navigation St, still heading towards the Airport. Funny how NXWM's 900 service goes to the Aiport too. Was this a new competitors service? Thanks to Stewart Graham for letting me use this pic. 11. This is how 5120 looked when I collected her from Reliance Bus Works in Stoke on Trent. They (Martyn & team) had carried out some repairs and MOT'd her for me. Martyn also blew some paint over the front end to improve is appearance. Compare the front dash and front dome here with pic 3. A suitable Oldham route had been put onto the front by fellow SWPG member Danny Burden. 12. It was just before lunch when we set off so with less than a mile done, we stopped off on the outskirts of Bradwell to allow some people to go to MacDonalds. I had put another destination up which was appropriate for a metrobus as they saw regular use on the 400 Trans Lancs Express service. This pleased Ian Berry - a Bolton based driver for First Manchester. 13. The next fotostop was Cannock bus station where we got some strange looks from the Arriva drivers. Note that I'd changed the destination to the oher end of the 400 route - AIRPORT. rather vague and as we were heading towards Birmingham........people were sticking their hands out! 15. Whilst in Birmingham we stopped outside the Ian Allen shop on Stephenson St to allow two of our friends (Tom & Stewart Graham) to get a rare shot. Thanks to Stuart Curwen for letting me use this pic. I'm sat at the wheel grinning like a Cheshire Cat. 14. Birmingham Old Square has seen hundreds of metrobuses passing around it over the years. The vast majority, if not all of them, being WMPTE/WMT examples. Not many, if any, GMPTE ones have been seen here which was the whole reason for me to drive that way. Pity that there weren't any other photters out to record the occasion. Thanks to Matt Reynolds for supplying the pic. 17. After Birmingham we called in at the Wythall Transport Museum. A few weeks earlier I had called in there with friends from the Devon & Dorset Group to drop off their BMMO S23 for repainting and pick up a completed ex Devon General LH. When I mentioned I was picking up 5120 they invited me to call in with it so they could compare it with their WMPTE example. We were made very welcome - they make a great urn of bus drivers tea! Seen amoungst the musuem exhibits of BMMO and Birmingham Corporation buses, it doesn't look out of place with its red & cream livery. 10. Time to cause annoyance! As 5120 was allocated to Glossop depot (under HE stewardship) when GM Buses was forced to split by the government, she became a GM South bus. However, I am an Oldham lad who liked the livery of GM North buses, I decided that 5120 would become a GMN bus. Well, it IS my bus and I have bought the GM Buses North company name so 18. The location of our next photo stop was the Royal Well Bus Station in Cheltenham. I'd set the blind again to a local route from when I used to live in Oldham. The destination depicts the time in the mid 90's when the 180/183/184 19. Near the end of a long day, we stopped off at Bristol parkway station to drop off some of our group members. The drivers of passing First vehicles looked suprised at seeing a Metrobus in Bristol. 20. Home at last. SND is now residing in our storage yard near Bristol as seen here alongside another of our group vehicles, James Willmott's ex Badgerline VR 5531 EWS739W. 21. On the next day, I took 5120 for a little drive down into Bristol city centre. The sun was just perfect on the centre at this time of day. Now then, whereabouts in Bristol is Diggle? 23. Pictured here at its first rally as a preserved bus. I drove down to Weymouth on 21st June 2009 to attend the annual running day. This is probably the first time this particular GM Metrobus has been to the south coast. I set the blinds for a typical metrobus route run out of Oldham depot. It was nice to see so many people taking an interest in the bus and taking plenty of photos! 22. I created a replica GMPTE cab notice and fastened it to the cab door. I have also acquired and fitted a Wayfarer II ticket machine as used by GM Buses and GMS / GMN in the mid to late 90's.

Chassis no VRT/SL3/2925, ECW body No 24438. It is currently running in the livery of its last operator - Abus faresaver of Bristol - and is now owned by James Willmott. The first 24 pics were taken on its first day in preservation, 22nd November 2008.

1. EWS is seen in the St Phillips area of Bristol having just left the yard of Mundens (aka Bristol Bus & Coach) on 22/11/08 2. Fill 'er up matey! James, the proud new owner, puts fuel into his bus for the very first time on 22/11/08. 3. A quick call at our yard so James can refit the chrome surrounds to the headlights. 5. Before heading out to recreate some north Bristol routes, we paused in Keynsham for brekky. A good old fashioned bacon buttie from a burger van - they were deelish!! 6. We paused outside Matts house whilst he got his camera. Not many buses get down his road.... 7. We paused on Badminton rd in Downend to pick up James' parents. We took them for a spin to Yate and back on 22/11/08. 8. Finally on its old route, we followed the 328 service through Winterbourne to Yate on 22/11/08. This shot was taken on Bradley Avenue on 22/11/08. 9. Next stop was Iron Acton village. 10. Before arriving at Yate Shopping Centre. Many people asked us what time we were leaving despite Abus never serving this route. Just shows people don't really check the bus, just look at the number... 11. A nearside view after we set the blinds for another route we were to follow. The 342 from Chipping Sodbury to Bristol. 12. Pictured at 13. Chipping Sodbury has a wonderful old central High St as illustrated here whilst recreating route 342 with a VR. 14. Pictured on Rodford Way on the outskirts of Yate, 22/11/08. 15. On arrival in Downend we set the blinds for the 331 service. This used to run from Downend to Bath which is now served by the 319. This is Park Estate on 22/11/08. 16. On arrival in Bath we set the blinds to look as if we had travelled in from Chippenham. Seen here on Royal Parade on 22/11/08. 18. And on passing the temporary bus station we set the blinds again...well we WERE going back to Keynsham so why not the 337? Several First drivers saw the funny side as we travelled along! 18. The bus was mucky, it used to be a Bath based bus back in Badgerline days so why not get a bath in Bath! The friendly depot staff allowed us to take the bus through the wash to clean her up on 22/11/08. 19. Nice and clean! with water still dripping, its probably the first auto wash its had in ages. A BIG THANKS to the guys at First (Weston Island) for letting us do this. 20. Possibly the last time this ex Abus VR will be seen in Keynsham on the Abus route 349. Seen here at Keynsham Church on 22/11/08. 21. Couldn't resist this shot. First and Abus share the 349. This pic illustrates the situation. 23. Farewell Keynsham. EWS makes its last departure from the town centre. 22. Last stop - Keynsham. Probably the last time this bus will be seen in Keynsham in full Abus livery. I thought the destination said it all. 24. Into storage. Seen back at our storage yard before going into hibernation. Hopefully she will come out looking different next year........ 4. ITS MINE!! James sits in the cab of ex Bristol 5531 on 22/11/08. Being a Bristol lad he's always wanted a Bristol bus. Now he has one. Note the original fleet number is still in the cab.

3. We picked up LFJ at Stoke on Trent station on 1/11/08. This pic was taken whilst the paperwork was signed to transfer ownership. 4. We stopped for our first photostop on the A449 just below junction 13 on the M6 on the road to Penkridge. 2. Proud owner Matthew Reynolds sits at the wheel of his new purchase on 1/11/08 6.

Wolverhampton was our second stop, just outside the bus station in the city centre. 7. The lower saloon of LFJ859W - with a few of the SWPG members enjoying the banter (and the noise of a wonderful 6LXB thumping away!) 8.

Some lovely old buildings here although we found it difficult to park outside the oldest. Still, it was nice to see the union flags flying outside this pub. 11. We diverted off the A38 after Tewkesbury to visit Cheltenham. This pic was taken in Royal Well Bus Station on 1/11/08. 12.

The bus used was James Pratts Devon General VR 1215, LFJ862W Thursday 6 November 2008: Pics taken whilst out and about recreating old Devon General routes around Exeter and Torbay on 2nd November 2008. The bus used was James Pratts Devon General VR 1215, LFJ862W

01. We were met at Honiton Road Park And Ride at 09:30 to start a great days wandering around old territory. 03. Another pic of 1215 in Silverton - a nearside one this time. 02. After picking up therest of the party at Exeter we set off towards Tiverton on old route 353 (now route 55). A diversion off the main road sees us call into Silverton. 1215 is seen here outside the village stores. 04. Tiverton is reached! A rear shot this time showing that classic curved rear dome. 00. Self descriptive really. This is the rear of LFJ862W, clearly stating what it is and who it is running for. 05. Route 373 ran from Tiverton to Cullompton - it now forms the northern section of route 1/1B 06. This pic shows us at journeys end at the bottom of Cullumpton High St. 07. The service from Cullumpton to Exeter via Bradninch was numbered 374. I've passed through Bradninch several times on route 1B and always wanted to get a pic there. This was my chance. What a lovely scene, a traditional liveried classic Bristish bus seen at a village green with autumn colours in the trees, and a traditional English pub proudly flying the George Cross. Can it get any better? 08. After passing through Hele and joining the B3181, Matt Reynolds was offered a drive - and gladly accepted. He's seen here receiving instructions from James. The drivers cab of 1215, LFJ862W 09. We paused for lunch in Exeter after doing a loop of mid Devon. The blind has already been set for the afternoon trip. 10. Route 185 (laterly 85) ran between Exeter and Torquay via Dawlish and Teignmouth. A wonderful route which no longer runs throughout. This is Dawlish with Terry Bennett at the wheel. 11. A wonderful shot on Teignmouth seafront. The scene here could be straight from the late 80's. It is in fact 2nd November 2008. 12. Another view of 1215 on Teignmouth seafront. 13. On arrival at Torquay we diverted slightly off route to call in at the Coach station. 14. Devon General route 127 didn't quite make it to Meadfoot beach. It terminated 300m short at Hesketh Crescent which was a more convienient pace to turn a bus around. 15. No longer served by buses, Broadsands (between Paignton and Brixham) was once the terminus of the open top service from St Marychurch. Here 1215 sits at the disused terminus. Broadsands beach is just 200m away down a path behind the bus. The viaduct carries the Paignton to Kingswear steam railway. 16. Route 122 (now 22) was recreated around Brixham. 1215 is seen here in Brixham town centre. 17. Two rears in Brixham. Buses for route 22 have shrunk a bit thesedays. 18. A great night shot in Exeter bus station at the end of a great day out.

The vehicles used were: GCK428W, ex Fishwicks National 2; MFX175W, ex Bournemouth Fleetline & GRU162V, ex Bournemouth Fleetline. Monday 15 September 2008: South West Preservation Group had its first running day in the Bournemouth area on 14/9/08. The vehicles used were: GCK428W, ex Fishwicks National 2; MFX175W, ex Bournemouth Fleetline & GRU162V, ex Bournemouth Fleetline.

1. Washed and ready to go. Both Bristol based buses were washed the previous day (13/9/08) to ensure they were looking their best. 2. Ready to go! The mist was still down at 0630, so with the lights on - including fog lights where fitted, an atmospheric shot was possible. 3. I'm certain that a Fishwicks bus has not visited Salisbury bus station before..... 4. Stagecoach were getting desperate!! Careful blind selection by Matt seeing as SWT were actually laying on Rail Replacement work. The X4 was a nice touch too as this route had not long since been axed. 5. Yep, we are definately in Salisbury. Wedged in amongst the solo's. 6. Ringwood, Meeting House Lane. GCK provides a green tint to the early sunday morning offerings on the stand usually occupied by Black Velvet buses. 7. Two old stalwarts reunited. Two former Bournemouth then Thamesdown buses are positioned nicely in the sun at Ringwood. 8. Welcome to Bournemouth!! GCK and MFX are seen at the interchange. I was setting new records for the furthest south a Fishwicks National has reached. 9. Arriving over the bridge to turn into the Christchurch terminus at the Civic Centre. MFX had been here before, GCK hadn't! Rob was driving MFX and Dave Hurley was enjoying being at the wheel of GCK. 12. GCK on the terminus loop at Christchurch Civic Centre, 14/9/08 11. All three buses squeeze into the terminus at Christchurch on 14/9/08 13. A golden oppertunity! Whilst the two older Fleetlines were resting at Christchurch, one of the current order passes on route 1b. I was lucky to grab this shot as passing cars made it difficult. 10. Surely this happened all the time? Two former Bournemouth buses together again at Christchurch ready to depart on the coastal service 12 across to Sandbanks. 14. the back ends of MFX and GRU at Hengistbury Head, outside Christchurch on 14/9/08. 15. Another shot of Hengistbury Head with all three rars on show. 16. More old friends reunited. Former Bournemouth 162 (GRU162V) is seen alongside sister 163 (GRU163V) at Bournemouth Pier. 163 is now running for Classic Yellow Buses in semi open top form. 17. GCK rests at Bournemouth Triangle on 14/9/08 18. MFX passes GCK to get to its parking space at Bournemouth Triangle. The driver on this instance was the owner, Matt Reynolds. 19. MFX and GRU sit at Bournemouth Triangle on 14/9/08. People still asked us what time we were leaving for Sandbanks. The seemed disappointed that were were privatly owned buses and not available to the public. 20. MFX, GRU and GCK pause at Alum Chine on route 12, 14/9/08 22. Sandbanks terminus. When was the last time two Bournemouth fleetlines were seen here on route 12? 21. GRU sits at the other end of route 12 at Sandbanks. 25. MFX rests at Poole Quay whilst we had a late lunch. 24. GRU rests at Poole Quay whilst we had a late lunch. I forget how many times we were asked what time we left to back to Poole and Bournemouth. Theres obviously a demand here for a decent sunday service. 23. GCK rests at Poole Quay whilst we had a late lunch. It certainly had a few strange looks as to what it was. The bus info poster in the side window helped a bit! 26. A brief stop on the cliff tops. This location is East Overcliff Drive. 27. A brief stop on the cliff tops. This location is East Overcliff Drive, featuring MFX and GRU. 28, Another shot of our two fleetlines at Ringwood. This time a nearside shot. 30. The first group shot showing all of our Southern based buses (at the time of the pic anyway). Left to right: GRU162V, MFX175W & GCK428W. The location was Ringwood coach park. 29. Another shot of my bus, GCK, this time at Ringwood. 33. Last photo stop after dropping off the last of our party at Salisbury Coach Park. 31. Stuart Curwen was in GCK following Matt and myself in MFX. This shot was taken as we passed through Amesbury on the way home. 32. Stuart driving again. This time we had just passed Stonehenge on the A303. London bound traffic was busy as usual for a sunday evening.

2. The hard end - the wonderful Gardner 6LXB in 175. 1. MFX175 was waiting for us when we arrived at Reliance Bus works to pick it up on 30/8/08. It was still in 'as withdrawn' condition by Thamesdown with the company logos and fleetnumbers removed. 4. The Thamesdown logo is refitted to the front of MFX by Martyn Hearson of Reliance Bus Works. 3. Even buses have a VIN plate! This is the one fitted to 175. 5. The 'Flying T' logo is refitted by SWPG member, Stuart Curwen - who also happens to be the Union Rep at Thamesdown Transport! 6. MFX proudly displays its SWPG disc. 7.

The staff on duty were very helpful to us and I'd like to thank them for their hospitality. 16. Another town and another photostop. This one was in Kidderminster bus station on 30/8/08. 17. We called in at the services just south of Gloucester to top up the fuel. it was a close fit but we had 45cm to spare! 18. The last photo stop was Bristol Parkway station. We had made it back to where we started 12 hours earlier! 20. Our two buses together!

This collection shows pictures of our preserved National 2, former Fishwicks 7, GCK428W, type LN116AL11/1R, chassis number 07343. The vehicle is owned by myself, Mark J Amis. It was the first of three Nationals registered new by Fishwicks in 1981 on the 1st February. It clocked up exactly 27 years and 5 months with Fishwicks before being sold into preservation on the 1st July 2008. Not a bad level of service with one careful owner!! Following more vehicle additions to our group I have now been able to allocate SWPG Fleet number 7 to this bus to match its displayed Fishwicks fleet number.

Then we moved round to the Bus Station at Cribbs Causeway to meet up with another rally attendee. 18. You wait AGES for a Fishwicks bus at Cribbs - and then TWO turn up! Reunited again after just over a year apart. Two of Fishwicks 4 preserved National 2's are based in the South West. 19. On the way home from the rally, we paused at Keynsham to allow Stuart Curwen another drive, this time back to the depot.
