©Denis Smith Thanks to Denis I can bring a decent shot of the newest coach for Citycoach now in full livery. The more I see this livery the more I like it.

Shame, i thought it would have the new look Panther front end
ReplyDeleteI see that the 03 plate coaches are now on the JSK plates
ReplyDeleteI think that both of the new coaches are 'old stock' built a couple of years ago so presumably were available at a much better price than the newer model. To most of their passengers this wont be an issue as long as the coaches are comfortable they really wont care that a slightly better looking version is now available.
