I love that farewell Fuji tour photo presentation features only two photos of anything to do with a Fuji out of 8... (and that's including a photo of Kid at the wheel of a Scania with a Fuji in the background!)
.
Job done.

Looks like a good day out was had; I must congratulate you though; I've never seen so many women on a bus tour! Sadly I couldn't make it; I had to work. Let's see some more Fuji pics though please!

Ummm... not many of the regular faces there, thought you'd have a lot more on board. Where are all the well planned and posed fuji pic's as we'd expect to see on such a tour?

You'll probably find the answers to that if you look thru all the other fuji related threads. Grenda's still use theirs when the newer scania artics are in the workshops etc.

Glad your tour went off without a hitch, looks more like a CWA meeting than a normal gunzel bus tour though :wink:

Pitty your pics posted dont concentrate on the subject that was the reason for the tour.

I dont think I ever saw it on the track but it may be one of those I didnt see.

As for it being mentioned in the FL's, I dont realy see it as neccisary but its definately not a bad idea tho.

1970 was actually one of the next buses to be put on the O-Bahn if TA had continued operating on the track.
