Bern FBWTrolleybus No.51 heading for Wyler

One reason why I don't download so many modern buses is that it might expose my ignorance as I dont follow them like my favourites of the past. Besides I have plenty of written information about them too and incidentally just so long as you want to know everything from the German about Swiss trolleybuses in April 2001 then I'm your man. Photographed in the mid-Nineties FBW No. 51 of 1975 was one of nineteen similar buses in the fleet either bodied by Hess or Ramseier and Jenzer with SAAS equipment. Also of course there were a few very similarly bodied FBW and Volvo articulated motorbuses too. Seeing them running through the city centre of Bern was not hard but catching them in winter sunshine was more difficult with the short days and long cast shadows but the station forecourt was a perfect spot where the sunlight could make that less than perfect orange standardized Swiss urban livery of the Seventies glow a bit brighter. Indeed I'm almost tempted to say in this instance that it looked quite nice.
