‘Scene’ in Derby Bus Station on Monday 21st August 2023. New To Me on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A bonus blog seeing as it is only three images.

 

I was waiting for my bus home when this turned up, loaded and went. 

 

All in ten minutes.

Note that the branding most obvious to the boarding passenger on the nearside is different to the offside and rear of the coach.

‘Scene’ at the Bus & Coach show at the NEC in 2019 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual B&C show at the NEC has been cancelled for 2020 because of the Covid 19 Pandemic.

 

Regular readers/viewers of my blog will know that I would normally have published a number of blogs built round what was new in the 2020 show.

 

As I am not able to do so, I will fill the gaps created by re-running some of the highlights from previous shows.

 

Sometimes (but not always) a veteran bus from earlier years  puts in an appearance.

 

The 2019 show today.

 

Tomorrow? who knows.

 

The 2021 show is scheduled for the end of October 2021 and hopefully, I will be there but a lot of water has got to go under a lot of bridges before then.

 

Meanwhile, I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane. 

 

Be positive and stay safe.

The bus that drives itself. There is a driver but he is simply a safety feature.

 

The battery of sensors that surround the bus do its thinking for it.

Unfortunately, ‘Nova Tours’ were one of the first business victims of the Covid 19 pandemic going out of business in April 2020.

 

Speaking personally, My wife and I will miss Nova, we have had many enjoyable holidays with the company.

‘Scene’ at Coach & Bus UK19 Part 6 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

It’s not often that an operator local to me gets inside one of the show halls at the NEC. 

 

Unlikely as that may seem, it’s an operator I travel with regularly. ‘Nova Tours’ of Chesterfield.

 

They only acquired this YUTONG GT12 the week before the show and yesterday on Monday the 7th. Of October, I saw it in Ripley, Derbyshire where I live. 

 

Presumably on its first trip to the seaside. (Thats how I know the registration).

 

Pelican Engineering are UK agents for Yutong and provide engineering support.

 

Also notable because it’s my first ’69’ plate registration.

 

More tomorrow.
