01/09/11 7041 arrives.
As stated in fleet news, today I picked up 7041 from Thanet with the help of Andy Watkins - co owner of 1178. Arriving on the bus and looking for a broom handle to dip the fuel, I discovered a large ginger cat asleep on the back seat. Needles to say Mr Pussy wasn't keen at the prospect of a ride down the road and scarpered! 7041 was started with the boost pack and then driven to our yard. A stop en route was taken to close the emergency door that hadn't been latched properly. Whoops.
She drove really well and romped along at 50mph. The steering was a tad heavy but investigation revealed the power steering fluid unit to be empty - easily sorted out. Overall she seems to be a great bus and makes all the right noises and drives well.
