  • I wonder if it was to go with the Leyland rail bus that was not long lived, did it have driving cabs originally, nice vid mate, cheers.

  • whats the song in this video?

  • I rember seeing it as the buffet overflow at Shepardswell, shame to see it go, bet it was tight with the Allelys Low Loader between Shepardswell and the A2.

  • @supercruiser24 Thanks for the info. Maybe there are folks out there who experienced this coach at 70-80 mph. My guess is that it would be noisy but the views from each seat would be unobstructed.... more than you can say for most of today's high speed stock, where there is no view out of the window at all from some seats (Pendolino). Not great in a crash though? Happily we will never know the answer to this last question!

  • Excellent coverage Josh, just for your info I've filmed it at it's destination today, and will be available to view in the morning....Bob

  • At 10:45am on 09/09/11 Today our Leyland MKI coach hit the rails at Cynhidre, South Wales. I would like to thank the EKR for all their hard work yesterday, and to thank Allerly's for getting here in one peace. later I shall upload some of the pictures of the move to the BPGVR YOUTUBE site. John

  • Lovely video Josh
