AWB Bern: Once the heart of the PTT Post Bus Empire

Opened on 3rd February 1941 the head works at AWB in Bern was busy especially in winter when seasonal drivers with no work were drafted in from their local garages to help service the fleet. At one time there were over fifty buses in here being serviced out of  a fleet of400-500, but by the Nineties despite the fleet growing well above the five-hundred mark much of the big jobs was being done by local contractors. Most of the activity was confined to keeping the local allocation of about 33 plus cars etc in good shape like this Mercedes-Benz O405G articulated bus P27709.
