Very impressed with the ex Christchurch Transport Board 1963 2HUM2RA, AEC Reliance really good to see the new owners are doing a excellent job looking after her.
The Reliance is one of 24 brought in 1963-64 and the coach work is NZMB B42D built here in Christchurch,length is 33feet,they were the first buses with Christchurch Transport Board to have fluorescent lighting in the saloon.They were used by CTB from 1963-64 to 1988-89.In 1979 24 secondhand AHU-505 diesel engines were brought from London Transport to replace the AHU-470 diesel engines as they failed.
