Bucheli, Kriens (PTT contractor) LU 15550 in Rotkreutz - 14 Nov 1987

Saturday 14 November 1987 (approx. 1155) – Many Swiss Postal Authority services are operated by contractors. Robert Bucheli of Kriens near Luzern was the operator of LU 15550 which was seen at Rotkreutz having just worked the 1110 service from Luzern, a distance of 19km taking 43 minutes. After arrival at 1153 it then worked the 1157 service to Udligenswil on a short trip of the service about 14 minutes along the road towards Luzern. Chassis is FBW (Franz Brozincevic of Wetzikon). I had travelled from Luzern on this bus. A large door for the loading of mail can be seen in the rear panel. Inside the bus there was a fold down bulkhead which can be seen through the rear windows. When mail was carried this was made vertical, the ceiling profile of the bulkhead is visible. The bulkhead also incorporated what was a fold down rear bench seat.
