Fire damaged 4502

[Gareth]

Today I had a journey on 4502 on the 94. When did this bus actually re enter service following it's repairs from fire damage? It's certainly the first time I've seen it since.
There is a new upper rear end, and it looks like all the seats have been re trimmed. However there is still quite a strong smoke smell upstairs (like that of burnt fabric and plastic, not cigarettes!)

It arrived back in garage the beginning of June (I first saw it on the 7th), and it re-entered service about a week later

I had a feeling it may have been around that time as it's tax disc is 5/15. Its just eluded me until now.

Finally had it on the 16 yesterday. There is still a slight smell upstairs of smoke/fire damage, but one of the best Gemini's to drive that we have
