The photo shows it in a box junction so I imagine its still running as good as new

Lovely machine! Pity all the coaches in the UK are now imported. My Grandad won't travel on them anymore because of that fact.

Thats a nice clear photo,I tried searching its history and dicovered that the coach as been restored and is now back in Bristol were it was 1st owned by Bristol Co-op,it now has a new owner,so it is still in working order.

The Bedford OB MHY 904 is not currently restored, it is owned by a man in the Bristol area & is stored in a haulage yard in Gloucestershire pending the owners decision on what to do with it

Thanks John, it was me that emailed you today after seeing this coach 'Bedford OB MHY 904' on this website. After a bit of research I found your website and you've been kind enough to confirm that the picture that was submitted on your site is in fact this coach in its current condition. I will try to post a link to said photo for everyone to compare. Cheers again for clearing this up, not the outcome we wanted.
