Having spent a weekend gallavanting around Hampshire on a mix of preserved buses and sampling many pubs, our attention must now return to 2599. Prior to leaving for Alton, one of our mechanics, Nik, had managed to remove the expired latch off the emergency door ready for replacement. This next task has now been completed, with Tim picking up from where Nik had left off, and refitting the emergency door latch, which now opens and closes as it should, as well as allowing us to lock the vehicle securely when unattended. Just needs a bit of tidying up at a later date, including some new screws and a bit of drilling to remove an old screw so that everything sits flush with the bodywork, but the main thing is, it now works.We were now ready to return to the next chapter, the underfloor crossmember and the brake anchor pins...
