					 Work on the bus started on 
                    1st July. On 3rd July our two HGV mechanics, John and Davie, 
                    (with a little help from me) made a start on the removal of 
                    the engine and gearbox from the bus. There were two reasons 
                    for this. It will allow easier access to the front of the 
                    bus for steam cleaning, sand blasting and painting and it 
                    will be easier to carry out repairs to the engine and 
                    clutch.
                    Starting at 11am the water was drained and the radiator 
                    removed and the engine and gearbox were out by 3pm.
