‘Scene’ Coaching in Scotland Part 1 on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A few days based in Fort William enabled me to get a reasonable cross section of images of coaches both local and from further afield.

 

Seen at Moffat Mill Services.

The clue to its ownership is the fleet number over the door which reveals it to be a ‘Stagecoach’ group vehicle.

 

‘Stagecoach East Scotland’ having taken over ‘Rennies of Dunfermline’ when the company’s owner retired in 2008.
