PS Coaches, Abingdon PL52XAD (X80SLT)

A pre-arranged visit to PS Coaches of Abingdon yesterday (22/08/2025) and with the rather fine weather the opportunity was taken to pose a small selection of their current fleet at their rather idyllic depot.

 

PL52XAD is a Dennis Trident / East Lancs Myllenium Lolyne 90-seater new to South Lancs Transport as X80SLT in 2002 passing to Blackpool Transport as their 342 in 2010. The decker was most recently with Aldermaston Coach Lines and joined PS this year;

 

YEZ6695 is a Volvo B10M / Van Hool Alizee new to Kerry Tours of Killarney as 99-KY-2944 in 1999. It came to the UK in 2005 when Pewsey Vale Coaches put T9PVC on it before passing to Astra of Andoversford. It came to PS Coaches in 2022;

 

N557SJF is a Volvo B10M / Plaxton Premiere 350 new to Bus Eireann as 96-D-42493 in 1996. It came to the UK in 1999 when it received the N557SJF mark. Although currently withdrawn, it remains with PS due to it being their original coach;

 

YJ18AYP is a Temsa HD12 new to Reays of Wigton in 2018. It is the most recent addition to the fleet arriving in recent months;

YT67GEU is a Ford Transit new to Brookfield School of Hereford in 2017. The 16-seater joined the PS fleet in 2024.

 

The rest of the current fleet includes an Optare Solo, 2x VDL SB4000 / Van Hool Alizee, a Volvo B7R / Plaxton Profile, a Volvo B12B / Plaxton Panther, and another Temsa HD12.

 

Thanks go to PS Coaches for accommodating my visit.
