(as shown so magnificently on PD2 1156 from a previous thread on this forum) I think 904 was done in the current livery as it means there is one in pulman livery and one in the other livery, just a thought was 904 devlivered in the pullman livery or the one show on the anviersary photos ? APOLOGY : Sorry I was wrong the 904 batch was delivered in the pullman livery they got the other livery on first repaint, the comment above regarding having 904 in the later livery so that there is one in front is correct it means there is one in each livery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone recall whether the 'black crossbars' were changed back to cream when MacDonald took over prior to the very disappointing SYPTE colours coming in. Do you recall AEC Regent No.8 Bus man, I have attached a picture from about 1950 I guess. An early application of a Pullman style livery. Whether this was applied prior to the arrival of the Leyland 'Farington' livery on the 603 series, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest littlemalc Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 It was great to be re-aquainted with 904 this last Christmas, living as I do now, away from Sheffield, my wife and I had a cottage over Christmas at Hope, we went just prior to Castleton for some "pub grub", and I was delighted and surprised to see 904 in the bus turn-round, it was also nice to have a chat to the four old farts (ha!ha!) like me! who were sat inside having a cuppa, happy days eh lads?
