AEC on the move

Cumbria Classic Coaches have acquired a 1953 AEC Plaxton coach for use as spares for other members of the fleet. On Friday 11th May the vehicle was collected from its home near Carlisle and it made the 40 mile journey to Bowber Head.
Here's a selection of pictures showing the coach being retrieved from the barn where it had spent the last 18 years and also on the road during the journey.

 Ian looks happy and relaxed- no fears about the heavy steering

 Tight squeeze through Penrith

 We stop for a chat with Gordon and Ann

 Passing through Orton - nearly home now
