This was intended for use at incidents in the severn railway tunnel and was stationed at Yate.

Hello Rg,it has recently been re-bodied,not sure if it is actually on the run at the moment,but it is still about.

Added by Bristol Bob on 27 May 2010.
Yes, it is still on the run and will in fact be in use this coming weekend at one of the regular Severn tunnel exercises staged between Avon and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. Both South Wales road/rail units will be attending the over night event.

N842HFB for searching. South Wales have a Unimog SN51ONL and a bigger Volvo.

Will be interested to see the new South Wales Vehicle, Avons rebodied Renault is still based at Avonmouth, although currently located outside in the workshop yard, whilst Avonmouth fire station is being rebuilt, as only 2 bays currently left standing and operational.

I believe that Avon will be having an identical one to the South Wales vehicle.
