New Crosville Bristol RE OFM3E in Chester

I know it was better and we quickly got used to it but I was a bit disappointed when ECW added BET front screens to the Bristol RE. It not only lost that unique look it spoilt the whole concept of the design as like the Bolton Atlantean it was designed to be uncompromisingly angular and boxy. There were practical reasons for the change too as flat screens cause dazzle at night and it was hardly aerodynamic. This Crossville example seen when brand new in Chester certainly looked smart in the cream and black coach livery.

  1. I totally agree with you Christopher (this is becoming a habit), but I so much preferred the flat screens.
