Flat-screen Eastern Counties RLE864 has arrived at the BusWorks for a complete restoration to NBC poppy red and white express livery. 864 had a long life with Eastern Counties, being delivered in 1970 and finally being withdrawn in 1988 by 'Cambus'. But 864 then passed to Citybus in Belfast for use as a driver trainer, returning to the UK for preservation in 1990.After several owners in preservation, RLE864 was acquired by Julian Patterson of Konectbus fame. Julian has commissioned the BusWorks to undertake a thorough restoration including engine & gearbox overhaul, new cream glazing rubbers, refurbished interior, external repanelling and a complete repaint.
