Is there anything the gold livery doesn't suit?!
Out of interest any idea who the DLA next to it (DLA142) is for?
I am told the new Levante's for NX work are due to be delivered imminently too.

I bet it's better than a Phoenix Solo held together with duct tape, Lee...!

surprised they havent replace the bus with a younger bus

It's the driver I'll miss the most. He's called Dougie and he's a lovely bloke. Know's all of his passengers.
But, I have to give this Primo a try.
Aye - he is a canny bloke. Thats the good thing with Stanley Travel - they allocate the same driver to the same service every day so after a while, all regulars will know him and he will know all regulars. I think he does every other Saturday with the old driver of the 706/707/708 around Stanley.

I think I may sample the JH Coaches Primo on the service one day next week, especially as I have yet to ride a Primo.

Yes, Ron sometimes does it if that is who you are referring too.
