Tuesday 7th June saw further vehicle movements at Freckleton in order to make space for buses returning from store elsewhere. PD2 1455 and the Weardale Leopard were moved to storage spaces outside. Whilst the latter had to be manoeuvred by fork lift truck and manpower, it proved possible to push start 1455 so that she was driven to her new spot.[attachment=1513][attachment=1516][attachment=1517]

The opportunity for a slice of humour was not missed.[attachment=1514]

The temporary creation of space inside gave the chance to take a view of PD2 1467, now near naked as virtually all the panelling has been removed as part of its overhaul. [attachment=1515]

In contrast, the repanelling of Tiger 900 is well underway with the roof now complete.[attachment=1518]

1467 photographed yesterday.There has not been very much progress since the last report.
Lower parts of the off-side pillars have received some attention and the removal of nails/screws
from the near-side framing continues.

The 'humorous' graffiti applied to 1455s window on 4 June has been removed (as has the
graffiti similarly applied to two other vehicle on that day).
