Walsalls got a Plaxton President didn't see that coming

Well that's certainly something - assume replacing the 8 Geminis up there, which will go to AG. Never saw this one coming along!

@BU07 LGO enjoy the Plaxtons :D lol

Nice to see a President to be back in Walsall, this time with a digital destination blind. ;)

Didn't one or two of the original 4042-4055 batch have early versions of dot matrix displays when new? Or maybe I'm imagining that.
