Indeed, I see the services on a daily basis and S24 BUS has been the regular allocation for quite some time now!

Hi Peter

Not sure who provided you with this information but it is incorrect

HC60 BUS became NJ60 HCG before it was sold on to a new owner, as of today it still hasn't been rear ended by a lorry

Oh right...not sure then, just presumed the information I was given was correct! So I assume that was sold in favour of the Mercedes Indcar??
