Thanks for posting that!   I see YX 61 GAA still has not gone!
As we spoke recently, Bustimes.org https://bustimes.org/operators/kevs-cars-and-coaches/vehicles has a vehicle LV 73 TWY (as well as the correct LV 73 TYW).  It seems to be a duplication as they both have similar route schedules.  But it doesn't have LV 73 TWD for some reason.

GA to be retained as a spare vehicle, some confusion with Mellor vehicles at the moment but will be corrected later this week

Busview have LL11XPX , a large Mercedes 'minibus' as operating for Kevs. One for the contracts side of the business I assume.

I have only seen it twice , the first time I thought "that's an ugly looking coach".  :rolleyes: :cheesy:

I totally agree, it is exceptionally ugly but very functional for the job it was purchased for

Don't be too hard on the appearance. I think it has a certain appeal that you can warm to. Body built by Nu-Track which was based in Ballymena in Northern Ireland. The company is no longer trading.

I'm not surprised if they churned out vehicles looking like that. It's hideous.

It reminds me of Gordon from Thomas the Tank Engine!

It has quite a pompous look to it (and I rather like it!) - reminds me of the Leyland Swifts that Stevensons used to operate.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Good to drive but all the staff affectionally call it the horsebox. PSVAR so what is there not to like, we cannot all be good looking :cool: :evil:
