RE: Jurby Transport Museum
Leyland Leopard 97 697-HMN has also left the fleet at Jurby - it left this morning

However good progress was made today. The volunteers tidied both the Museum building to create more exhibit and working space and also the compound was tidied to create more space in preparation for the Museum's vehicle lift to be installed. Other new exciting exhibits are hopefully due to arrive at Jurby in the new year but it's a case of wait and see at the moment

Dennis Dart SLF 25 DMN-25-R was washed today in preparation for it to receive the the "Easyrider" lettering and stripes before it goes in for its test in the new year. In the coming weeks the seats and grab poles are going to be reinstalled - hopefully before Christmas. It is planned that work should be completed by Spring 2013

Recently it has been confirmed that the only privately preserved coach on the Isle of Man - Bedford YRQ 45 MAN-1935 - will be cosmetically restored and put on display in the Museum building. It is planned that the vehicle will be painted into the Tours livery

That's all for this week
