Hello.
For anyone who is interested FTN 710W will be doing 3 possibly 4 runs on the shuttle service at the NEBPT Howlands Park and Ride event on June the 21st. The significance of this is that I have never aloud 4710 to take part in such events as I don't believe in giving "free" rides.
However with the renewed interest in 4710 and our Group the Northern National Restoration Group with the arrival of R855 PRG it was thought that we give something back to the enthusiast's. Wile A Leyland National 2 isn't to everyone's taste it will give the opportunity to sample A bus that was constructed 34 years ago and is now extinct in public service. A direct comparison is then possible with modern buses.
Indeed the group was very happy with the response we got from the younger generation at The Metrocenter.
Anyone's thoughts are most welcome.
Thanks. Craig Smith. NNRG Operations Engineer.
