Cardiff Bus
A contact of mine on Facebook has posted pictures of an Enviro400 MMC in the final stages of construction at Alexander Dennis' Scarborough factory in Cardiff Bus livery. This order follows on from the demonstrator (YY64 GWX) they had at the start of the year. Even without the operator branding I think that it looks extremely smart indeed and the livery suits the body design really well

RE: Cardiff Bus
I had a holiday in south Wales in July. On the Sunday I rode several Cardiff Bus vehicles, and a handful on the Tuesday too. Many have green seats, with a bit of orange padding on modern buses. Their main vehicle types are Scania-Olympus, Scania Omnicity bendibus, Scania-Solar/ Omnicity single-deck, Citaro, Enviro300, Enviro200 and Dart-Pointer. Of these, the Solars are evidently ex-dealer stock as they have different red seating.

Was in Cardiff yesterday noting that the bus station had been closed and demolished. I saw about five deckers but they were all on different routes.

All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles
