Batch 43 - the cool mat.

We bought Charlie the Pug a cool mat for £5 at B&M. He appears to ignore it even though her has returned from our local park panting because of the heat wave.

Batch 42 - summertime girl.

Sunday 20th May 2018 - Cardiff Sophia Gardens Coach Station - summertime girl is waiting on stand 5 for a later coach to depart. Her track suit bottoms brighten up this hot afternoon and bring a smile to the coach drivers on duty.

Batch 41 - selfie time.

Monday 14th May 2018

There were no interesting coaches to photo tonight at the driver changeover in Cardiff West Services, so here are a few selfies...

Batch 40 - a Plaxton Leopard.

Sunday 13th May 2018.

Spotted parked at Cardiff West Services was this Plaxton Leopard bodied coach, belonging to Taf Valley Coaches of Whitland, Carmarthenshire. This is a regular 12 metre coach but with a standard floor, making it's height just 3.2m tall. Nowadays most coaches have a high floor which gives increased luggage capacity and a higher seating position for the passengers to look out of the windows. However, these high floor coaches come with increased body height, 3.5m and taller with results in increased fuel consumption. Also this Plaxton Leopard body offers a much lower weight which results in much lower fuel consumption. This coach has an unladen weight of 11,645 kg which is light compared to the 13,570 kg of a National Express Caetano Levante bodied Volvo B9R with 48 seats. 2 tonnes is a lot of extra weight to push up and down the motorways of the UK.

Batch 39 - fat girl sleeping.

Simply a fat girl sleeping on a sunny afternoon...

Batch 38 - girl on the stand.

Monday 7th May 2018 at Cardiff Sophia Gardens Coach Station. Who is the girl on the stand enjoying the heatwave and sunshine? With her tattoo's and revealing clothing she brought many a smile to drivers working on this Public Holiday.
