Hi Matthew,

Welcome to the group.

Congratulations on your new purchase.

I see that it was not new to Bournemouth. Where was it first registered in
Dorset ? Is it a 1980 bus ? I was really sorry to see the old primrose yellow
with the maroon band colour scheme change. That is the colour that I grew up
with in the 50's plus of course the green Hants and Dorset. The day the bus
station burned down certainly changed the face of the Square forever. A very sad
day to say the least in my mind.

I was back in Bournemouth last November 2007 and did not like what I saw that
they had done to the Square. I feel that the heart of downtown is no longer
there.

Any chance of a picture of your new purchase ?

Do tell us the history if you know it.

Hi All

I have just joined the group and am the Proud Owner of MFX 175W.

I would love to see more postings on this group about general
movements, around the Bournemouth & Poole area.

I am also after a complete set of Bournemouth Fleetline blinds from
the Early eighties, and a white daimler steering wheel!

Any assistnace from anyone and i would be eternally grateful.

Thanks

P.S 175 will more than likely end up in "Blue Flash" livery!!!
