Thanks to a tipoff from a friend I was able to snap H Type 351 as it left the depot tonight for a trip to town and back.
Recent investigations with cameras mounted near H370's wheels show that the H's are still fit for service and we're hoping that they may return to the weekend heritage runs in the near future.
Bill.

Nice shot of the old girl! Good to see the Adelaide H's are still seeing some occasional service.
On an historical note, I think this vehicle was originally 380 and was renumbered to 351 around 1959.
Cheers,

From all the information that I have seen, H 351 is actually 351 but it was renumbered 380 (I think) in 1959 but was renumbered back to 351 by the STA in time for the Glenelg line 50th anniversary in 1979 and obviously has remained 351 since then.

Yes 351 was renumbered 380 back in 1959 and then returned to 351 in 1979.
