Rigby Road Ramblings

All cream MTMS owned Railcoach 680 at the front of the depot with Unimog G262SCK at the right

The big tram shunt that took place at Rigby Road depot two days ago has seen the Manchester Transport Museum Society owned all cream Railcoach 680 move to the front of the depot. At the right is Unimog G262SCK that was loaned from AC Price Engineering to act as cover after Unimog 939's accident a couple of years ago.
