Thanks Mike!
I've just (about!) cracked this photo-hosting business - thanks to Jimbob and Tunnie earlier on!

Good to see yer back on this thread - and nice to see Admins contributing too

I'll dig out some bumph on the Cardiff City FC team coach 'as soon as' me ol' bud!

[Seth]

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!

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.

not sure if i like that or not tbh.
seems to be more & more glass at the front with these modern things.

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!
