LKG 678 arrived at the Hereford
Storage Centre at 1030am Saturday 13/1/07.
The journey went well, apart
from a sixteen hour wait for the ferry at Calais, due to the south westerly
gales which had disrupted sailings for at least the prevoius 24 hours.
The bus is none the worse for its journey, but strange to see it here on a
windy, rainy January day albeit of up to 12C, rather than in Antibes in
full-on sunshine at 30C and more!
Particular thanks go to Andrew
Wiltshire for finding it in the first place, Danny for locating Christian,
and Christian for parting with it - and of course Lyndon for paying for it
and for its movement back to the UK, which cost more than the bus itself.
As can be seen there is
certainly some work to be done, but it's much better than our Tiger CUH 856
was, and that one is coming on a treat. (report from, John Woodward).
