June 2, 2009. Stephen did a very quick gearbox change on CVH 1 and she was so good he took her to Arklow and back for a run and she performed perfectly, a tribute to those who built these fabulous machines. We intend getting her a MOT and she should have no trouble passing.

Well done, could you please put up some photos of the run or even a quick video???

Hope to have a video online tonight or early tomorrow. Shes running fine now except for a water leak at the side of the water pump, but that should be rectified later.

our youtube channel is rivercourtcoaches so dont be afraid to check us out!

If you could show us the bus going forward and in reverse we would be all very grateful.

Sorry Ted i only got your message about reversing when i got home but we are planning a good size video when shes looking a bit healthier next week if you can hold off till then. We had quite a job finding reverse as when you push the button, you have to press a switch above it also to get her to select reverse. Well the short very badly edited video has arrived, taken by Christy & Me in the yard today.

He deserves all the credit as not many apprentice mechanics at such a young age set a task of rebuilding a coach like that, as well as having just done an engine change on his Dennis truck , which the video is online also following its succesful DOE pass result!

Enjoy the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUlN1wNOgE8&feature=channel_page

Seeing as you are now doing videos can we see a video of D711 as you said you got it going.

Now that CVH 1 is running again I'm just wondering if any thought has been given as to what Livery it will wear?
