Yarrantons Citaro BT66 TZE

Mercedes Citaro BT66 TZE seen today operating on Yarrantons 758 service between Worcester and Tenbury Wells.

I meant to post this photograph of MG TC Midget FAK 57 new in 1947. Realise it isn't a bus but it is a lovely fully restored roadworthy vintage motor worth a lot of money and it was on static display at the Twilight event;
