‘Scene’ in Cardiff part 1

Another of those places like Chester, Bath and York that seem to be overflowing with buses.

 

I was last in the Welsh Capital 10 or more years ago when the livery was competent but restrained. Surprisingly, it is still around as displayed on.

A Dennis Dart SLF with Plaxton Super Pointer 2 bodywork working for ‘Cardiff Bus/bws Caerdydd’ as are all the buses featured in this blog.

CA03 VRK


Another of the same in green and orange both colours being seen again in the first image. But what a difference the proportions and style of application makes.

Put a Transbus Mini Pointer Dart in the same livery in bright sunshine and the effect is dazzling.

An Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL) Enviro 300. 


I have made the comment before that I think the styling on this version of the E 300 is more attractive than the one that replaced it which is the current style.
