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 alongside its own branded coach production.
There is however a long history of ‘Plaxton’ production, a little of which is seen here.
There will be a small number of blogs about ‘Plaxton’ bodied vehicles seen at ‘Showbus 2017’.
For ‘Plaxton 1’ see blog dated 18/06/2018, ‘Plaxton 2’ see blog dated 05/07/2018.
