Yes, we noticed that as well - Simon pointed it out to me.The interiors are more reminiscent of the 1959 stock. Gone are the cast glass shovel-type lampshades; replaced by flourescent tubes. But many original touches still remain - the wooden window jambs, the original windscreens, the same cushy seats (albeit with a different blue moquette). Even the original LU roundels over the car ends are still there - but wear different numbers now. Whilst we were at Ryde St Johns, we were allowed out onto the scrap heap to visit a couple of "spares", in positively decrepit condition, rusted within and without, and without a lick of attention. Sad to see them like this, but what can you do? At least there were positive developments within the shoppe, such as the restoration of Unit 483.007. wayne |
