RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Thanks for posting the list again K101, when the other forum went offline, I never had the list saved anywhere!

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Im sure the 2 with private plates are deckerbus.
0291 is VIL8682 which is with deckerbus along with the ones still plated up.

As it was new to MTL London L203SKD is also with Deckerbus. L202SKD has just been sold off by Helms and the plates have been held on retention and are up for sale

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
0298 has been sold to Deckerbus as well, it's still in Arriva livery.

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
VIL8682 is 298 not 291, VIL 8680 is 291!

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Hows 0302 - N302 CKB getting on?

[J654UHN]

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Coming along slowly but Surely. Now Woodvale is out the way NWVRT can focus on getting it sorted out and fully painted with Wirral Penninsukar Logos

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Basicly following on from what J654 UHN has said.. Now we can crack on!

First -back needs to come off to allow some welding on the rear of the chassis where the engine cover hinges are mounted (yet another common volvo olympian fault!), then fibreglass man is going to repair holes in the back itself where the cctv cam was etc.

Once thats done the back just needs many coats of paint like the rest of the bus. Only the front and N/S have full red and cream undercoat on, the O/S is just white, the rear and roof still Arriva.

A trip to PVS should get us some more origional matching seats and more spare windows but the main priority is paint/bodywork atm.

Its expected to be out for the Wirral Bus and tram show in October this year. For more progress on 302, i do upload photo updates to my photostream, where 302 now has its own dedicated set!

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Have you managed to get the destinations working front side and back?

[R879 HRF]

RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Need to replace the fuse somewhere in the relay cupboard behind the driver, an electrician at LS has said he'll sort it out though. The front isnt set up to work with the side blinds yet, need to fork out for the MTL brighttech set up eprom and a further memory expansion board for the front destination to enable it to work with sides and back. Simple job, will get it done eventually. The main display is programmed with all the destinations though.

I or somebody else from the trust will post any further updates on 302 as progress is made, either here or on the preservation NWVRT thread.
