Black Cat Travel of Lincolnshire's HIG 9454 (previously registered as T299ROF), Mercedes-Benz O404/Hispano Vita, carrying a white variation of the company's standard livery while sporting the name "SMUDGE", is pictured at a car park near Hobson Way, South Shields, while on Private Hire on a trip to Newcastle upon Tyne from Lincoln for the weekend, looking rather smart indeed. 29/06/13

Having been made aware of HIG9454's presence in Tyne & Wear by friend and enthusiast from Lincoln, Damon Powell (ACBest), I couldn't deny a photograph of her. HIG9454 posesses a relatively rare bodywork for a coach used within this country, and it's certainly not a type of bodywork I'd seen in person prior to today. Slightly gutted the sun didn't play ball and come out for us all today, but nevertheless, HIG9454 stands in all of her glory.
