pitbull1845 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi,I was wondering if anyone has some knowledge on the history behind the coach that was stabled in Godfrey Road (mid to late 90's?) for some time. It's the red and yellow one which I guess is or was Satlink.I've seen it in a lot of photos, sadly my own collection doesn't have a good shot of it, only this one. I have looked at Flickr and a few other sites but haven't found a full decent shot if it, plenty of part shots though. I dont even know what type of coach it is but quite fancy attempting a model of it. I would just like to know a bit more about it.Any info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanksScott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi Scott, There were a couple of similarly painted Mk2's at Preston until about 2 years ago. They were "training coaches", although what training went on there, I don't know. I'll try and find out more about them. Cheers, Mick EDIT - isn't the internet brill? The two vehicles at Preston were ex Mk2 BSO's, with internal user numbers 024909/025000. The coach at Godfrey Road was a BFK, 977591 ex 14033, S&T staff and tool coach - apparently it's been at Dalton Transport Services yard in North Yorks since 2006.

pitbull1845 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks Stadman, they are really useful images. I found them a bit earlier, so much easier thanks to Mick's input. Was able to search under the number rather than "red and yellow coach thingy at Newport... It worked a treat. Cheers, Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
