Ordered by Thames Valley 491 (DRX630K) was delivered to Alder Valley in the new Ribble red livery. It is seen on the B express service from Reading to London on the A4 at Slough. Sadly the vehicle is bus seated. More interesting is the fact that the bus was used in the TV advertisement promoting the new National Bus Company. It lead a pack of buses from several NBC subsidiaries racing towards the camera. In preparation for its role, uniquely its cream band was painted white and white Alder Valley fleetnames were applied. All other buses in the fleet prior to being repainted in NBC poppy red acquired cream fleetnames to match their cream bands. |
