THE GALLERY

A reversion of Green Line style, perhaps? Back to the bus oriented RF and National era, following a generation or two of coach bodied Tigers and B10Ms. Arriva subsidiary County chose low-floor DAFs with new Plaxton (Northern Counties designed) Prestige bodies, ample luggage space and comort seating for the arduous North London orbital service 724 to Heathrow, where R206VPU is seen.

A sister vehicle from the same batch is seen at Watford Junction Station one Saturday before Christmas 98.

Sovereign had a smart fleet of new Premier bodied Green Line coaches on the 797. This one is seen at the Buckingham Palace Road terminus, with its blue Sovereign fleetname.

Bee Line acquired a batch of early model Jonckheere coaches for commuter work on the M4 corridor. The Windsor service was more geared to tourists and ultimately Bee Line yellow gave way to Green Line colours - and a small castle mural. TJI4829 has acquired the Northern Ireland registration to disguise its age, and is further helped by the gloom of the British Airways Victoria terminal.

Another gloomy Green Line/Bee Line, this time more modern Jonckheere coachwork for the vehicle allocated to the Camberley service, TJI4634.
