'Scene' at ‘Coach & Bus UK17’ part 3 on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual pilgrimage to the NEC seems to come round quicker every year.

 

This years offerings were a bit disappointing because out of the major UK bus manufacturers neither Optare nor the Wright group attended.

 

However there was still plenty of interest.

 

Caetano the Portuguese coachbuilder has done well in the UK in recent years with some hundreds of the ‘Levante’ coach body for ‘National Express’ and its contractors.

 

They chose this years show to launch the ‘Levante III’.

This Northern Ireland operator has recently taken delivery of 12 of these superb vehicles to use primarily on service 212 from Belfast to Londonderry.

Looking a bit forlorn outside was this what I think is an IVECO based midi bus.
