The Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley and Dukinfield Transport and Electricity Board(SHMD), what a grand title, always had a penchant for the unusual and in doing so acquired six of these Northern Counties bodied Gardner powered Bristol RE's, 113-5, WMA113-5E, new in 07/1967, and 116-8, YLG716-8F, 116/7 being new in 08/1967 and 118 in 09/1967. S.H.M.D. was absorbed by SELNEC PTE in 1969 under the first phase of local government re-organisation, with this RE being transferred there. Really nice to see this one out and about after a long and thorough restoration and very nice it was to travel on too at the Wirral Transport Show, in 2023. It is seen here departing from Glyndyfrdwy Station, Wales, having been on display during the Llangollen Railway Classic Transport Weekend, on 07/07/2024. © Peter Steel 2024.
