Tow Wagon 4 Pays a Surprise Visit
Early in February, a band of BPSWA Members and our 1950 Leyland Tiger OPS4-1 paid a surprise visit to a former colleague and friend Vik Marko.
BPSWA Honorary Life Member, John Young, first met Vik at Technical College in 1962 when Vik was an Apprentice Mechanic with the MTT, and John was with the Railway Road Service. An apprenticeship at that time was 5 years, and the two continued their friendship and working relationship over many decades during their careers at MTT, Transperth, and again later at Swan Transit. After a short time with the Police Department, Vik had returned to the MTT at Morley Depot and later joined the Schedules Department where his skill as a Scheduler became renowned throughout the industry. Vik's wife Julie also enjoyed the moment with Vik. Vik was truly surprised and enjoyed the visit immensely with his former colleagues, impressing everyone with his astonishing recall of names and events from the past.
