ex Brighton & Hove 589 EU05DVX

Last week was Royal Ascot and, as per usual, stacks of coaches turned up throughout the week. The annual 5-day horse racing festival is local to me so I visited on the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday when 75, 195, and 190 coaches turned up respectively.

 

Highlights for me included:

UK26HWT, a new Mercedes-Benz Tourismo for Hollywood Travel;

YJ68CCE, a Van Hool Astromega for Ferris Holidays;

YK26LCV, a new Yutong TC9 for Dagenham-based Tigers Transport;

RML2679 & RM385, the inevitable pair of Routemasters;

SM24MAR, a Yutong GT12 expertly driven from Marshalls; and

VX54CME, a Mercedes-Benz Vario O814D / Mellor C33F from Vale Cars of Henstridge.

 

Plenty of chatty drivers across my 3 visits - notable mentions go to those from Aston Manor, Burrows, Cheney Travel, Don's, Euro Coaches, Jeakins, Motts, Options, Poynter's, RS Sauchen, Tigers Tpt, Wheelers, and particularly the driver of C5DUR. Thanks all for making a good day a great day!
