Hi, im interested in pictures of when Park Lane bus station was getting built, has anyone got any pictures, they wish to share.

Thanks

Just a suggestion, but ever thought of hosting a Wiki on the site? Could potentially include everything from working documents on fleet lists (past and present), and accommodate any topics that the forums do.

Just posting a few links, stories and photos which some of you may find interesting.

Feel free to share any others.

It was an E6 tonight as I saw it next to the blue bell pub

Just replys to some of the earlier postings.

8222 was fitted with a Cummins ISBe engine as a trial. IIRC 2 Optare Excels were fitted around the same time with the same engine.

As for the centenary vehicle. I think it might be a Dennis Trident / ELC.

Not sure if its just me but the GNE thread has disappeared and I can't find it by going through previous posts either

Recently Premier Bus & Coach baught an Optare Solo but does anyone know where from as it would help me loads.

Was having a chat earlier about brands or items that were around when we were younger, but are no where to be seen now. So in a bid to get other parts of the forum a bit more active, I thought I'd stick a post on here Apologies in advance if this is not the place.
