The Xelabus fleet is difficult to follow as plates and fleet numbers change frequently. Plaxton bodied Dennis Dart SLF 402/H9XEL was pictured eastbound on Pound Tree Lane, Southampton and, a few minutes later, westbound on the same road as it ran just ahead of the Zany Zebras parade [qv]. The registration was previously seen on a Dart with fleet number 409 and the name Patricia and another with fleet number 407, so I assume this is a different vehicle. Any confirmed information would be welcome. H9XEL

A poignant memory of a short-lived venture of the early 1980s is evoked by the British Coachways livery on this Morris Bros. Plaxton bodied Volvo B58 FTH991W. Please also see my album notes and the fleet list at www.swtpg.org.uk/fleet.htm for vehicle histories. 200_2_P1050677

Plaxton bodied Volvo B10M L888PAB of PAB Tours in Mayflower Park, Southampton. It is unusual for a coach to be parked inside the park as they normally rest on Herbert Walker Avenue (behind the trees). Photographs of buses and coaches can become very predictable so I have chosen this wider shot to provide context with the Holiday Inn in the background. X20_DSCF1771
