Bristol VR LFJ862W

River Link here in Devon have got a new bus. Well not exactly new, it was registered in 1981 by the Western national Omnibus Company and has passed through several hands since then. I saw it making it's way up Torbay Rd Paignton yesterday morning running in service between Paignton and Totnes ( service 100). Later in the day it appeared to have been replaced by a single decker.

Good pic Dave, good to see it earning its keep now in Devon! Needs a destination blind doesnt it as opposed to a piece of paper!

I have to say the VR is one of my favourite buses ever. So much better in my opinion than some of the more modern stuff which I feel lacks any personality. A real bus with a real growl when pulling away, not to mention the semi-automatic gearbox giving drivers more control of the ride. What drivers may feel is a different matter though :)
As for the destination blind - any on ebay ???

Why on earth don't Riverlink paint their buses in the proper livery when they get them? Always seems to take six months.
