Restoration takes time and money.

 

I know the individuals/groups involved in both vehicles (both of whom have other vehicles) and I am sure they would have loved them to have been finished three years ago.

 

Sadly, time and money are the problem (not necessarily in that order).

 

Both vehicles are owned by respected local preservationists and I am sure will be finished in due course.

Regards

James

Just been to Huddersfield today and i have just noticed that under the
arches at Huddersfield are two former WYPTE buses which have both been
locked up and untouched for over three whole years and are supposed to
be saved for private preservation.
The buses are:
Leyland Atlantean AN68A/1R/Roe H43/32F 6300 PUA300W of 1981 and
Leyland Leopard/Plaxton Derwent 8501 JWU244N of 1975.

Both buses are a concern to me as they look so sad and urgently need
repainting.

Also under the same arch is an AEC Regent III of Huddersfield
corporation 243 reg unknown.
