THE GALLERY

The 747 is a long established airport service, with a very evocative route number. The route has varied a bit over the years, but like the Flightline service illustrated above at Victoria, it is operated by Airlinks and links Stanstead and Gatwick. This time the link is via a westerly loop and includes Heathrow. The service also stretches beyond Gatwick to Brighton. This Premier bodied B10M is seen at Hemel Hempstead Bus Station, heading south for Heathrow and beyond.

B814BPG belonged to Speedlink, when this photo was taken. The company was later renamed Airlinks. It was a subsidiary of National Express and is heavily involved in link services to the nation's airports. This Volvo B10M/Plaxton Paramount 3500 is seen on a service which links two airports - Stanstead and Gatwick - with Central London, hence it is seen at Victoria Coach Station.

Displaced from Green Line services by ex Grey-Green DAFs this second-hand Paramount 3500 was relegated to Park & Ride work in Hemel and void of Green Line logos.
