J&M Preservations Update

Since our last J&M Preservations update, work has commenced on the recently acquired ex Halton Transport Dart 77 PX06 DWD.



It began with the removal of the bird mess and moss from the sides of the bus and the cleaning of all intact windows. The remaining hopper windows have been removed. Their replacement has been sourced from recently acquired donor ex Halton Plaxton Dart 18 PX55 EGV. The entire vehicle interior has been stripped of all useful parts and the body was sent to Trevor Wigley of Barnsley for scrap.



After having all the donor windows fitted, the opportunity was taken to test drive PX06 DWD on private land, away from the public highway. Further work continues.
