| I have mentioned the mid-life refurbishment of LT-class buses recently, with a photo showing an Arriva LT about to be towed from Eastleigh back to London. While Go-Ahead London and Arriva have been using Hants and Dorset Trim, Metroline has been sending their LTs even further, to Thorntons Bus Refurbishment of Ashington in Northumberland! When Derek visited the CELF in Perivale on 21st November 2023, he found freshly-overhauled LT645 on the back of a Thorntons low-loader headed by Volvo FH NK66NYH. It is not known if all such movements are done by lorry, but the driver did mention that he was taking another bus back north that day. He also added that getting under the railway bridge at Perivale was very tight! The ground clearance on the trailer also looks tight, and I would imagine there must be a facility to raise the suspension to clear bumps and humps! |
