Not much to report from 2599 herself as we enter the month of February, with most of the action being behind the scenes away from the bus. Thanks to Robert Nogues and the Ards Bus Preservation Group over in Northern Ireland, our group now has a number of useful parts to aid in the restoration of the bus, including a Bristol RE badge, some original Ulsterbus-spec vinlyls for the emergency exit to replace lettering damaged over the years, as well as a number of other useful bits. Other memorabilia sent over includes some Ulsterbus timetables which will live with the bus.2599 will also be sporting an authentic Coleraine Depot destination blind, which Robert has kindly shipped over for us, with the Citybus blind currently in the bus making the journey 'across the water' to live on in Robert's Citybus RE 2446.
Many thanks to all concerned!
