Here goes .......... be patient ...........  :-\



Looks like it's the Cardiff City Football Club's team coach from the prestigious Edwards fleet.

It's a 14-metre Van Hool 'Astron T917' integral, powered by a Euro 5 460 BHP DAF engine, and driving thro' ZF ASTronic fully-auto transmission.

I'd imagine that this one'll be equipped with all the comforts necessary to assist this successful team! ;)

Nice to see an Admin becoming involved in our transport heritage Mr Wood! :y

Personally, if a topic doesn't interest me, then I don't post and simply pass it by - 'forum guidelines' etc etc ;)

Do the Welsh know what a football is?

I didn't realise they even had a team!

Some modernity for starters Jon ...............



First have four of these beauties based at their Ravenhill depot in Swansea.
Each coach is named: 'Good Golly Miss Molly', 'Mandy', 'Mrs Robinson' and 'Sweet Caroline' are regular performers on the motorway express service to Cardiff.

Initially felt the same way myself Jon!

I pass them/they pass me regularly on my daily commute, and have to say that they've 'grown on me!'

They're actually Irizar-bodied Scanias with rear-mounted engine and fully-auto transmissions. Weighing-in at around 12 tonnes unladen, they don't half perform well. Full leather seating and on-board WiFi too!
