‘Scene’ on the Highways and Byways of Switzerland, ‘Postbus’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Over many years, friend Peter Rose has been photographing the trains and buses of Switzerland.

 

Here are a few of his early bus images which are posted with his permission and my thanks.

 

Routes are either operated directly by PostAuto itself, or by local bus companies under contract to supply vehicles, drivers, uniforms etc  to PostAuto specification.

Pictured in the typically murky, mountain Grimselpass scenery in September 2004.

 

Whilst I am not sure of the manufacturer, it would appear to have many styling points that would indicate Neoplan as being the coachbuilder.
