NEW IRM ANNOUNCEMENT - Coastal Tours Duo - Latest Britbus Commission Revealed!

[DJ Dangerous]

[DJ Dangerous]

I see that one of the two Coastal Tours buses, the 14A, is down to the last seven units in stock!

The RV496 must have quite a few units available, as there's no stock counter displaying.

Maybe @BosKonay can confirm, but the "Remaining Units" start displaying once there are less than 75 unit savailable?

The 14A:

Brilliant, thank you!

And, did RV496 only run Coastal Tours, or did it also run regular routes?

So, if one were to buy an extra RV496, could they slap their own destination scroll on the front?

Were there many other buses in the Coastal Tours livery?

If so, which ones, from when until when?

Hi Kevin,

RV496 worked regular routes out of Donnybrook Garage, again mostly 14A in this livery as it was on the boards to do an early morning stint on this route before taking up coastal tour duty for the day. If you look in places like Flickr you will see that both buses worked a variety of Donnybrook services including Xpresso routes.

Cheers!

@BosKonay - why no countdown widget on the IRM website?  That gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.........
