Guest transit Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ...became a common sight in the mid 90's that the Coachline fleet was reregistered with the older scrapped / converted (as a driver trainer or service -gritter vehicle) buses marques , probably to make the coaches "dateless" to the public ! Be interesting to know what happened to the regys now !? ... regys i can recall used on Coachline vehicles were ... 475 , 476 , 477 HDT - originally Donc Trans. 3910 , 3913 WE , 4475 WE - originally Sheff Trans.

Did it not house the Sheffield & District fleet in the early days after deregulation as well. And for a time it was an interchange point for National Express coaches. Remember "The Sheffield Connection", an attempt to set up something akin to the Cheltenham Interchange. Seemed odd at the time, with all the passengers wandering around the garage. Thinks...... another topic to be started here :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
