There was no ceiling downstairs, but the between-decks structure and upstairs floor were generally good, except that the coving panels and brackets along each side were heavily corroded. The single-piece Jicwood roof was in surprisingly good shape, although the inner and outer front domes had been removed.
The lower deck floor was rotten along the sides, but otherwise solid. Along with as much else as possible, what can be retained and refurbished will be.
The cab and much of the front of the bus had been stripped; the front bulkhead (despite various LT repairs) was cracked on both sides. The main riser and the stairs were good, although the staircase riser (the support for the stairs) turned out to be badly rotten. The platform had fallen off at Billingshurst, leaving the pole swinging in the breeze.
