Dennis Rapier ex W Sussex T360 APO

Preserved appliance taken Sept 2010 at Dennis factory open day Slyfield industrial estate Guilford where it was giving rides round the estate. My first ever ride in an appliance on blues and twos.

T360 APO was not preserved when this picture was taken, still being a Reserve Appliance with West Sussex after serving at Worthing and Petworth - hopefully it will be preserved one day.

Jon - Does beg the question why an in service appliance was giving rides to the public on blues and twos on a public road, not that I am complaining?

Pete - good for public relations I expect - and you can always be more flexible with a reserve machine than one that is actually on the run...Jon

I would be very surprised if it was actually giving rides on blues & twos on a public road. I should think all the driver did was hit the two tones every now & then to give the impression of being on the bell to his passengers.
