Guru Travel T/A GT Coach Hire

[Michael Bevan]

A recent addition to the Guru fleet is ALX400 LX03 OPY which was out over the Easter weekend on Coventry-International rails. The vehicle still wears it's old Chatham & District Traction Company livery (minus the Chatham & District vinyls) which it wore whilst with it's previous owners at Nu-Venture.

Yes - the point I singularly failed to make was its weird that a major operator managed to put out a vehicle with an erroneous plate.

EDIT - Ah, didn't realise that until Tony's message.

That was a DVSA error, not Lothian.

Guru's Darts tend to do a lot of miles! Heard them being used on rail replacement all over the country, and on runs in emergency (one I remember was a Dart doing Rugby to London Euston and another doing Rugby to Liverpool Lime Street a few weeks ago).

EPC was parked there at 16.10 causing a problem for a school coach which drew up alongside and couldn't make the turn and, probably wisely, then chose to back off rather than continue along Railway Street and try to get out that way. I thought it was still there when I came back from the pub around 20.00 and didn't register it being a different one - if it was both have an advert for Stagecoach MegaRider in the first offside window.
;
Other vehicles noted were OW15WKC, who's owner I can't recall, which had both front and rear screens scrolling between "Departs 14.10" and "LNw Replacement to Rugby". No idea what the rationale for the 14.10 departure time was about 13.45 a clearly exasperated announcer had directed Rugeley passengers to the "public bus" and the rest via Birmingham.
;
Orbit E21ORB was there at 12.50 , I assumed having arrived from Rugby, but never heard it announced as going back.
