Incoming Excel

One of the more unusual buses in Plymouth at the moment is this Optare Excel which has been transferred down from Scotland having originated with Hutchisons of Overtown. I have always liked the look of these buses but have yet to ride on this one. Makes a nice change to the usual Darts and Volvo B6BLEs!
First 6249 W49WDS

    Graham, apparently there is a couple of these in plymouth at the moment.

    Also, on your fleet list, the repainted 08 plate enviro is 142 not 140.

    I saw an 08-reg Enviro on Sunday which had been repainted and I'm almost certain it was 142. The front of 408 (with the Fireworks ad) has been repainted into the 'new' livery.
    I still think the new livery suits the single-deckers better than the double-deckers, I'll be interested to see what it looks like on the East-Lancs B7s though. There was a Plaxton President on the 22 on Wednesday which surprised me to say the least!
