Mid-September 2006

By September the entire top deck has been removed as has most of the lower deck. On the front bulkhead as was standard on 2RT2’s blinds were used for draught proofing and these can still be seen in situ. The cab area is left in place along with the front bulkhead whilst the remainder is removed. The blinds were carefully removed and remounted on a modern bus blind and will go back into their hiding place of the last 67 years. With 7 days of these pictures taken the bus was down to its chassis and mechanical work being carried out, more of which will be in the next progress report which will go up the first week in October.
