The history of the British bus industry is littered with companies that like shooting stars shone for a while and then fell to Earth.
Fortunately ‘Plaxton’ is not one of them.
Now part of the ‘Alexander Dennis Ltd.’ group and turning out current standards like the E20D / Enviro 200MMC and the E40D / Enviro 400MMC alongside its own branded coach production.
There is however a long history of ‘Plaxton’ production a little of which is shown here.
