Swiss PTT AWB Autowerkstatte Bern - a photo on Flickriver

Swiss PTT AWB Autowerkstatte Bern

            The Swiss post bus works in Bern used to be a very busy place in winter as up to fifty vehicles were being serviced at any one time. Also because many services in the mountains had to be curtailed in the winter months because the passes were closed to road traffic because of snow employment was found for many of the alpine based drivers here. The works at Stöckacker became less interesting as the fleet started being services locally often by outside contractors and apart from a few special jobs like converting ordinary Saurer DUk's into ski-buses the workshop had much less to do looking after the local fleet of thirty-buses. These were mainly Mercedes-Benz 405's which included bendibuses too like 0 405 G P27708 of 1987 . By 1990 the FBW had all but vanished as can be witnessed by the empty tool rack but it was still well stocked for Saurer's as there still had a large fleet of RH's.
