Today we took the almost complete suburban coach for a short trip to the main Oswestry station platform.
Following the combined efforts of many volunteers over nearly two years on the coach hardware the stored upholstery was professionally deep-cleaned.
The day started with the coach bring eased out of the shed inch by inch, we don't want to scratch that nice new paint do we.
After a short trip the coach arrives in the station for attention to the upholstery. Although it was a bit damp the mood was bright and cheerful as we are close to having two coaches available for service.
The internal fixed upholstery is given a thorough clean. Here we are using the services of a Shropshire business putting money back into the local economy.
The still to be fitted seat cushions were treated to a clean indoors. Here you can see the nearest one has been completed, with work about to start on the second one. You can see the difference!
Another great day for CHR and a nice reward for the volunteers to see the results of their efforts out in the open.
There are still plenty of jobs to complete before the coach will be ready for service but we can definitely see the finish line now.
A big thank you to all of the many volunteers that have invested time in the restoration of the suburban coach and to Andy G for the pictures.
Until next time.
