I was the first BBB driver to take one of these out in service - what a come down from our Nationals! Top of Westdene. In response to a comment on this foto, it was common practice in Blue Bus days to change blinds at the top of Westdene, the Westdene end being worked as a large LOOP with the 'terminal' stand being halfway round, the top of Westdene being the start of the loop, the only time the blinds were not changed at this point was when terminating here and running light back to depot.
