Meet the Teams - Electrical
Updated 9th May 2024
Although some of the electrical work will fall under weekly Maintenance, many of the jobs are actually involved with coach refurbishment and a steady programme of improvement.
The Team
Richard Bu. and Richard Ba. whom we fondly nickname Richard II and Richard I. As well as general checking and repairs, they continue to provide a rolling programme of improvements to our coaching stock.
Nicole, Richard I's granddaughter, is our youngest member, joining at the end of March 2024. Currently being at university she is only able to attend on an occasional basis.
Steve S., who was our LED lighting specialist, has now retired. His work to improve our coach lighting has greatly increased the working life of our batteries.
Phil S. who looks after the general electrics during refurbishments such as the lights, intercoach connections and general wiring. In this role he is also part of the Indoor Gang.
Mike is our newest member, joining the team in early 2025 from the South Devon Railway.
