3white king long coaches in the yard no reg plates

oh dear, even worse than Plaxtons..

Drove past today. All three still unregistered. Two were of the same type as the tri-axle ones that they already own, but wasn't quick enough to see if these too were tri-axle. The other was one of KL's smaller types, the ones with the round lights on the rear. No idea what any of the model designations are - they're far too convoluted for me to bother trying to commit them to memory!

Interesting, though I know they are service agents so could be servicing them for someone. They do most of Greenline's maintenance, I know.

I hope they get to the bottom of the accident quickly. What a relief everyone was wearing safety belts.

Does anyone know which vehicle was involved in the M5 accident?

TinnedPeaches

Trainbasher: Great pictures and nice little site. I understand the Merc was on demo somewhere else prior to coming here. Wonder if it's on demo here too - interesting.

Ade: I understand it was PR58WYN that was involved in the accident.

YN04 BKP has been in use recently on Prospects Halesowen College services still in white. Possible replacement for M5 accident coach even if temporarily.
