Savda coach on the St. Bernard Pass - 29 Aug 1990

Wednesday 29 August 1990 – A view from the top of the St. Bernhard Pass with an Orlandi Poker bodied coach of SAVDA heading back to Aosta on the 1615 departure from the top of the pass. This was one of three daily summertime only journeys operated up the pass two of which continue to Orsieres in Switzerland jointly operated with a Swiss based company. These services were supplemented by two all the year round journeys running via the St. Bernard tunnel. The road over the pass is closed for most of the year and had a terrible surface caused by the winter ice and frost.
