‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit ‘Skills’ 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year. (Covid permitting).

 

Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.

 

This year, the location was in my part of the world, the East Midlands.

 

Skills’ was the provider of our transport for the day and their base at Bulwell in Nottingham was to be our first visit of this the third day.

The football that Nottingham Forest play in the Premiership might turn heads this season.

 

The coach they turn up in certainly will.

‘Scene’ at Euro Bus Expo 2018 /2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

One of a small number of blogs featuring buses that caught my eye appearing at the NEC at ‘Euro Bus Expo 2018’.

 

More tomorrow!

 

The high window line together with the ‘Z’ side flashes and with the theatre seating plus black paint finish make for a very distinctive coach.

The passenger ‘cabin’.

 

The theatre seating might not look obvious but each row of seats is slightly higher than the row in front. Look how the seats relate to the windows.
