Coach Quartet

Passing Great Yarmouth's Beach Coach Station this afternoon I noted four coaches present enjoying the sunshine.

Two were from National Holidays in the form of Setras NH14HBH and NH11NTH, whilst the others were employed on Alfa Travel contracts. These comprised Commercial Coaches' Volvo B12B PO59FHY and Grayways' Van Hool integral TX15 YJ66FKA.

He tells me that it is a Plaxton Elite bodied Volvo B9R with the registration SA60TWP. It was previously with Parks of Hamilton where it carried the registration KSK953. Built to National Express specification, it features a lower front destination display.
