Railbus takes to Bristol tracks

Archive footage from the 1980s shows transport bosses giving a new Railbus a test drive around Bristol.

The Leyland DAF Railbus was introduced in the early 1980s and was designed for low-traffic lines.

This particular Railbus was tested on the Bristol Temple Meads to Avonmouth line.
