There is also the fact that buses were a favourite target for destruction during the troubles, giving problems to the municipal fleets who may have bought in used buses for secondary services such as this. The coach type single deckers behind suggest a mixed fleet of whatever old junk the contractor could lay his mitts on. Squinting even harder.....MCW? I don’t think it’s a Bridgemaster, it doesn’t have that squashed look. -- Last edit: 2019-04-10 09:18:48
