I have been saving this view of the yard at the back of the Carris works at Boavista by Santa Amaro for a special occasion. As it was my last day in Lisbon I had hoped to be able to go inside but as it was the weekend I was told it was not possible. The next best thing was to scale the wall to the top and at least take a few shots from there of these wonderful slowly decaying AEC's that symbolised a previous era taking us back a good few more years when Bristish buses were king's of the road in Portugal.
And this photo shows why I've never got the chance to see double deckers in green colours in Lisbon...
ReplyDeleteThey were scrapped from the fleet right before my usual trips to Lisbon...
Could we see this picture in larger resolution ?
Best regards.
A larger image. I expect so as I used this restricted scan to do a header on my website. Maybe for Christmas.
