ALMOST THERE! South Yorkshire Motors (Pontefract) No 81 has been parked up awaiting restoration since 1981. A lot of work has been done this year, and the bus now starts "on the button" and drives.

A few minor mechanical bits need doing then she can go for an MOT test. Hopefully she will be on the road for the 2010 rally season. (TWY 8 is an Albion Valiant, which was new in 1950 and re-bodied in 1958. Click HERE for more information about this bus).

RESTORATION NEWS

West Riding 640 (BHL 682) has seen a bit of activity recently. This Leyland PD2, dating from 1948, has had the ceilings put back in place, various pieces of timber treated, repaired or replaced and the upstairs floor is ready to receive its linoleum. Thanks to Richard Hall for these photographs.
