Mine has to be 214 CLT, I see it all the time but haven't rode on it since they were running on the 34 route years ago. It is original inside & drives well too with it's original AEC engine.

You mean it's got the same AEC engine it arrived at HJC with. Knowing how London Transport rebuilt and interchanged the various running units it could be 3rd of 4th different engine.

Oh no I meant an AEC engine, unlike a lot of Routemasters that have been fitted with Cummins, Scania etc.

I liked the AEC Regent V ex Devon General, but on the whole it was good to see not one, but two AEC Bridgemasters; one ex Sheffield as mentioned above and the other from East Yorkshire, although I prefer the later AEC Renown.

Seems like this was an unofficial rally for AECs. There were about 15 of them with three different marques and Halifax & Hebble liked their AECs in years gone by.

Nothing wrong with that, but there were a good selection of other marques there as well. Plus one non-AEC with an AEC Engine and one other with a Epicyclic crash gearbox with a very AEC ring too it under load

I prefer leylands , however, I enjoyed the rally I had a ride on a southdown PD3 and a Bradford Regent , I am certainly not saying i wont go again cos there were too many AEC's far from it

Loved the run on PJX 35. I thought that it was a nice touch too to have ads for Yeomen of the Guard on yellow paper, on the windows! My memories of Halifax buses in days gone by include such adverts. Either it was always playing, or I only went to Halifax on days that it was!

Kelvyn the owner of the bus is in that play, hence why he had put the ads on.

Looks like it should be renamed the HJC show then, although the service will be operated by mostly non-HJC Buses
