24th June 2012 RV3411 Southsea Running Day

RV3411 at our Southsea Running Day by Paul Knight

This is the first time in a number of years that CPPTD have been able to display  RV3411 to the public behind the D-Day Museum Southsea in June, at the end of each month on the last Sunday where they hold a running day, it was previously a double deck bus converted to be used to inspect the Trolley bus Overhead Cables and also able to tow Breakdowns back to the depots.

The Lower Deck is full of the part to complete it.

Rear view of the upper at the top of the stairs.

                                      Looking forward on the upper deck just a good clean required.

The staircase is being reassembled and is starting to take shape, after many years of inactive work whilst in storage with its previous owner.   Hopefully now that the priorities of some of the other projects have now been completed work can now recommence to complete it.   Although it does look like there is a lot of work, the most important and major tasks have been completed.  The lower deck just needs to be reassembled and finished off with a good paint job to match that of the upper deck & the finial coat to the outside and it will look splendid once again.
