RM 1621

RM 1621 has returned to Ensigns to have conversion work done. Anyone know how it got its non-opening front upper saloon windows given it has body B 1725 ?

Re: RM 1621

Might be worth checking to see if it really is body B 1725. IE: plain trim round top of windows, two bolt gangway seat fixings etc. There are a couple of places on the body where the Park Royal body number is written in indeible black pen under the skin. If you could expose one of the numbers, say below the offside stencil carrier we could see what body it really is. Failing that it could be an accident repair.

My bus number (if any): RM 912

Re: RM 1621

Its only in with us for MOT and is being repainted as well nearby.

I believe it was accident repair in its LT days and had the front grafted on from an early bodied withdrawn or accident damaged vehicle. Chris, you and I looked it at back in 2005 as it still had the interior front vents as well and I think you mentioned it had the front from RM28/9 but that was a long time back now and just from memory so don't hold me to it!
