After seeing '30904' myself today the bosy is definately not the original, still could be legal if someone has done a body transplant. Might sound unlikely, but Fletchers at Burton on Trent did it with a knackared Mercedes Minibus ex Carlisle flood victim a few years back!

Ugh, what happened to that front end on 30904? Surely that wasn't standard?

That was the standard ALX front until it was replaced around 2000 by the style that 30905 has.

Thank goodness it was replaced, was hurting my eyes just looking at it. Looks like a pug dog - revolting and squashed up!

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Different front ends
Different interior pole colour
Different Seat moquette
Different size fleet names
Only one of them may well be ex Stagecoach

Thanks for confirming Tony, I knew it clearly isn't the original, but never went as far as accusing Rotala of foul play either
