Here's some of my current rides!
Volvo/Caetano NatEx spec - we've got a couple of these 60 plate ones, the 12-speed semi-auto box is a little slow to get going but once you're up to speed they pull very very well. This one has an awesome sound when using the exhaust brake too
This is one of our more modern versions on Scania chassis. Standard auto box so get off the line sharpish but not as fast on the motorway as the Volvos. Beautiful to drive though.
Ex NatEx coach on some rail replacement
Saturday afternoon in the yard......
In London we take our breaks in Abellio London's Battersea depot. Sometimes you get an inspector onboard
Would you believe this is the Chelsea Embankment at 0930? Nice and quiet on a Sunday

Nice to see Mick and Chris doing some work for once in that first photo
Re: Yeomans photos
I thought it was an excellent representation of the professionalism of the elite rota
